Alexander and Abigail met at Southeastern University, a year before there was ever any spark! In the fall of 2016, Alex started to see Abbi differently, and did everything he could to hang out with her. Abbi, on the other hand, wasn't interested (Or so she thought!). She loved his friendship, but didn't want to lead him on, and started hardcore AVOIDING HIM for several months (Abbi: "It made sense in my head at the time!"). Still, Alex pursued her, and eventually won her over, after hours of talking life and music together. They went on their first date on January 31st, 2017, and they've been laughing, binge-watching The Office, and making fools of themselves in public together every since!
Alexander proposed at Lake Mirror on Good Friday, April 19, 2019, after months of misdirecting Abbi. He knew he'd have to catch her completely off guard if he wanted to surprise her! They had made plans to meet with Alex's family for Good Friday brunch. When they "accidentally" showed up too early for the reservation, Alex suggested that they take a walk around the lake. It was then that he popped the question and Abbi lost her mind! Moments after the proposal, Abbi turned to see both of their friends and both of their families walking towards them! Alexander and Abigail feel very loved by their community, and are so thankful for the people who helped make the proposal so special!
