HOW WE MET

March 2018

While Alec was moving to Milwaukee, Wisconsin for law school, Kendra was getting ready to leave Wisconsin to head to Rochester, Minnesota. Thankfully, Kendra’s friend (and bridesmaid) Alex was also getting ready to move to Milwaukee, and would be one of Alec’s classmates. Pretty soon, her and Alec became friends, and in March 2018, she invited Alec to go out with her and her friends who were visiting for the weekend - Kendra being one of them. Within the month, Kendra was reaching out to Alex to see if she could get Alec’s number. They began talking every day, and in June, Alec visited Kendra in Minnesota. The rest was history!

CLOSING THE DISTANCE

January 2020

After Alec finished law school, he found a job in Chicago. Luckily, it wasn’t too difficult for Kendra to find a nursing job in the area, and in January of 2020, they were finally able to live in the same city and leave the four-hour drives behind them.
