Amara Grace & James Alden
Our Story
Jim and Amara first met during the Fall of 2015, both of their first years at Arcadia University. After being great friends for over a year, Jim found the courage to ask Amara on a date, although Amara will tell you she asked first. The rest is history! See some of our favorite memories below including countless trips to Amara's hometown, lake trips to the family lake house in Cape Cod, visiting Amara during her study abroad semester in Paris, their love for America's National Parks, and more!
