While our relationship began in 2016, we first met sometime shortly after Alex moved to Charlotte in December of 2014. We share our profound gratitute towards our friends met through PwC and Vanguard for bringing us (& subsequently two of our closest friends, Matt and Margaret) together. In late summer of 2016, we hit things off at a party with friends and the rest is history — we grew close through our similarity in values, interests, and what we wanted our future to look like. After a trip to Ohio State for a football game in which Elizabeth met Alex's family and friends, Alex realized how much he liked Elizabeth and how well they got along. He asked Elizabeth to be his girlfriend (and made his mom so happy by doing so). From trips to Charleston/Kiawah, Wrightsville Beach, the NC mountains, various places in Ohio, wine country in Virginia, NYC, Boston, Nantucket, Montana/Wyoming/Idaho, London, Paris, and so many more places to come, we have had so much fun in our journey through life. A townhome, a puppy, and so many great times together, we are excited to finally join our families and spend the rest of our lives together. Montana holds a special place in our hearts and we hope you all enjoy your time exploring Bozeman and the surrounding area! Thank you for making the trip out West to celebrate with us— we are so very grateful. Alex & Elizabeth
