Alecia and Edward met very spontaneously through two mutual friends. It was the Sunday before Labor Day in 2018, and of course there's no work the next day. They both ended up in Broad Ripple. Their friends who they were with knew each other, and left Alecia and Edward as the two "outsiders". Edward eventually walked up to Alecia, and asked what she was drinking, and that he would like to have the same. Alecia was confused by the random small talk, and walked to the dance floor. Little did she know, Edward was right behind to dance with her. They ended the night finding so many similarities about each other. They have been inseparable since.

The morning of August 20th, 2021, Edward made arrangements to take Alecia out for breakfast to celebrate her birthday. After she got dressed, she walked down the stairs, and was greeted by Edward standing in the middle of heart-shaped roses, a bouquet of roses in this right hand, and a card in his left. All of this happened while their shared favorite song Adore by Prince played in the background. After Alecia read through the card, there was a post-it note stuck to it. Once Alecia pulled the post-it off, in utter shock, it read "Will you marry me". Alecia and Edward both laughed, cried, and hugged in total bliss. The couple then shared the news with their close family and friends the next day August 21st, 2021 on Edward's birthday. The combined birthday party eventually turned into an engagement party. We are so excited to celebrate this next chapter of our lives with you!
