John and Alecia met while living in the dorms at UWS. During sophomore year, John and Alecia lived in the same dorm and had a few of the same classes together. John would meet Alecia at her room every morning and walk her to class while they both talked about their weekends or other classes. John and Alecia continued to talk to each other but did not decide to make anything official until after Alecia was out of college and John was finishing his final semester. They have now been together for 5 years and can't wait to tie the knot with all of their loved ones around!

John and Alecia traveled out to Colorado for Alecia's brother's wedding. John and Alecia never took a vacation or traveled with one another before, so they decided to take a vacation. John knew that once the two had decided to take a vacation, that he was going to propose but was unsure how. John found out that his sister was also going to be in the same part of Colorado at the same time. John then asked for his sister's help and planned a hike to a spot called "Dream Lake" where John planned to propose. On the day of the hike, John and Alecia traveled through Rocky Mountain National Park and found the trailhead where they met up with John's sister. About 2 miles into the mountain, John and Alecia arrived at "Dream Lake". John then dropped down onto one knee and asked Alecia to marry him. Alecia said yes and the two celebrated with friends and family in Colorado and began to plan the big day!
