Our story begins with the friendship between Alex and Allie (one of Alex's bridesmaids), which started during their freshman year of college. In the second semester, Allie’s dorm hosted a hall formal, and she planned to attend with her boyfriend, Peyton—who also happened to be one of Chad’s close friends and future groomsmen. One Tuesday afternoon on the academic lawn, Peyton approached Alex and mentioned that a friend of his was looking for a date to the formal. Alex agreed to go—and that friend turned out to be Chad. The night of the formal was unforgettable, as Alex and Chad quickly discovered an immediate and undeniable connection. After a few weeks of shared dates and meaningful conversations, they recognized their chemistry and began their journey together. Over the years, their relationship has been filled with heartfelt memories, laughter, and remarkable personal growth. Alex and Chad are both excited to step into this new season of marriage together.
