We can't wait to celebrate with you!

We first met in 2005 at the Auburn YMCA Stingrays Swim team practice. We hated each other. It was a very typical small child rivalry. As we got older, we slowly began to support each other at practice, eventually becoming friends. As we got into high school, we ended up in the same close friend circle. We began hanging out and supporting each other outside of the pool. It was painfully obvious to everyone but us that we had a crush on each other. That is when our friend, Celleste, convinced us to text a smiley face to our crush on October 18, 2012. Luckily for both of us, we were each other's crushes. The rest, as they say, is history.

What started as an innocent camping trip for two in Fair Haven, NY became a week to remember. Alexis wanted to walk to the pier and have ice cream, Jake had other plans... As we were walking down the pier, listening to music as we like to do, Alexis spots a photographer, a set of GoPro cameras, and a big pink heart smack-dab in the middle of the pier. To her shock and disbelief, Alexis realized at that moment that Jake had managed to pull off his biggest surprise yet: A sunset proposal. (By the way, in case you were wondering, she said yes.) Though Alexis did not get her ice cream, she got the surprise of her life from our family and friends as they greeted us back at our cabin with gifts, champagne, and s'mores by a wonderful bonfire. With hearts and bellies full, it was the perfect end to a perfect day.
