Lexi and Haydon first noticed each other during Lexi’s freshman year at Alvernia University, when Haydon transferred in. Lexi was determined to introduce herself because he was wearing what she thought was a Carolina Panthers hat—instant conversation starter. As she got closer, though, she realized it was actually a Detroit Lions hat… and suddenly had nothing to say. So she walked away, and the moment passed. It wasn’t until a year later that fate stepped back in. Haydon and his roommate, Michael, became friends with Lexi’s roommate, Allison. One night, Allison invited a few friends over to their dorm—and that’s when Lexi and Haydon officially met. For a week or two, they talked here and there, keeping things casual. Then one night, everything just clicked. The whole friend group went to a party together, but Haydon and Mike left early to hang out back at their dorm. Later that night, Lexi texted Haydon saying she was cold, bored, and needed him to walk her back to campus. When he arrived at the Hockey House, he found her standing on the kitchen counter, dancing to “Hotel Room Service” by Pitbull. From that moment on, there was no turning back. Five years later, they’re getting married—and can’t wait to spend the rest of their lives together.
