Dominique and Alex met at VCU in 2014. Admiring each other from afar for months even to the point of being Instagram friends, it wasn’t until November of 2014 that Alex took the first step for them to get to know each other officially. When he and Dom locked eyes one night at Cabell library, he slid into her DMs. Dom was too nervous to open the message until the next day, but was happy to see he was as interested as she was in getting to know each other (IYKYK). They went on a few dates back to back and quickly became inseparable. They enjoyed each other’s company and their personalities were a great match. She inspired him to dream big and he kept her grounded. This continues all these years later as they strive to reach their goals together. They both push each other to be the best versions of themselves. Now, almost ten years later, they’ve been by each other’s sides through big moves, family events, career updates, and now are ready to move into the next step of their life together: marriage.
