We first connected in late 2019 through a mutual friend, and from the moment we met, something just clicked. Alex quickly became my New Year’s wish come true, and little did we know, that was the beginning of an amazing journey. Even though we were at different colleges and navigating life during COVID, those challenges made our bond stronger and our relationship even more special. What started as a few months turned into years of love, laughter, and growing together. After we both graduated, we kept learning from each other, sharing dreams, and realizing more every day just how rare and special our love is. Then, in the summer of 2023, Alex proposed, and the answer was simple: “Yes, I love you.” It felt like the most natural thing in the world. These last two years of wedding planning have been such a beautiful adventure, and we’re incredibly grateful for the love and support from our families. We’re so lucky to celebrate this next chapter surrounded by the people who’ve been with us through it all. We can’t wait to see you soon and keep making memories as we continue our journey together. -Alex + Jess
