Our story started back in 2013, when we met through mutual friends, Ben and Tyler, at Carroll University. We began frequenting the library with friends, where we would work on homework, and take nightly breaks to walk across campus and go get snacks from the dining center. We continued to occasionally text over Christmas break, and shortly after Lexie began her track season at Carroll. Caden ended up deciding to join track as well (Lexie claims it was a ploy to be able to spend time with her, Caden denies this), and we began hanging out more playing all sorts of card games and watching movies while not at track practice. The rest is history. Almost 7 years later and we have taken multiple trips around the country together, both with friends and to visit friends. We have also bought our first house together this past year in Milwaukee, where we now reside. Many of Caden’s friends thought that maybe Caden would be proposing on our amazing trip to Italy, however he proposed 6 months later, at Christmas lights in Chicago, with both of our families sneakily trailing behind us without Lexie knowing. We are so excited for our new chapter to begin!
