Jackie and Alec first met at the start of their fall semester of College in 2010. They were both members of the SMU marching band and remained close friends throughout their College career as part of this band “fraternity/sorority”. After college graduation, they both parted ways as friends for several years. Jackie and Alec “re-met” at a mutual friend's birthday dinner, several years later, in 2016. The connection this time was very different from their first meeting in 2010. Alec worked up the courage to ask Jackie out on a date at the end of this birthday dinner, and as the story goes, the rest was history when Jackie said "yes". Their first date started off with some confusion when Alec showed up to the wrong coffee shop (same name, different coffee shop) on the opposite side of Dallas. This confusion is understandable for anyone who knows Alec’s sense of direction. After a few texts, and Alec quickly driving across town, their date started and the connection was instant. Jackie and Alec became boyfriend and girlfriend within weeks of their first date and have been inseparable ever since. They enjoy laughing together, watching TV, traveling, and spending time with family and friends. Their cat and dog (Pickles and Nacho) also provide them endless entertainment. After a wonderful four years of dating, Alec asked Jackie to marry her at the top of the reunion tower in Dallas. Much to Alec’s surprise, she said YES! This is just the start of the journey for Jackie and Alec, as they dive head first into marriage and start the next chapter of their story. We hope you’ll join in celebrating this marriage of this happy couple!
