We first met at a callout for the Purdue Reamer Club in September of 2021. Amelia was already a member and Alex pledged that fall, but it wasn’t until January 2022 that we actually became close friends. When Amelia studied abroad in Italy, we found ourselves staying up for hours talking every night - and that’s when we realized how much we truly meant to each other. With a little help from our mutual friend (and best man!) Drew, we officially started dating that March.
