I was serenaded by his angelic voice LOL. We’ve been good friends ever since. I remember meeting Alexis for the first time at my house. She always dressed the flyest. We had mutual friends over hanging out, and we became good friends! I have so many memories of Andre and Alexis throughout my life, that it’s hard for me to pick what’s been my favorite moment… Instead I’ll say how throughout the countless memories, all the food restaurants we tried, and cities we’ve seen, I wouldn’t trade them for anything. You both (Andre & Alexis) are people that give so much light and inspiration to others, while being yourself. So let’s keep growing and having many more memories!

Age: 26 Where you live: Maryland Where you work /what you do: Sales manager at a Bridal Shop (David’s Bridal) How you met Alexis & Andre/fav memories: I’ve Known Alexis for 16 years now. We’ve met back in 2007 when she lived on Ridge ave which now feels like a lifetime ago. My Mom and Kathi became best friends and made it easier for us to become best friends. There are definitely some memories that we have just for us... LOL like stomping the spiked leather boots. I remember the first time we went to firefly before they started dating and having the time of our lives dancing to Florence and the Machine or experiencing MIA festival in Philly seeing Rihanna and Coldplay just the three of us.. (all before they even started dating and before they would ever know they were moving to Philly). At the time of the performance Andre had just dropped and broke his phone on top of already bad weekend (Mercury retrograde and a full moon) of losing his pup Lexi. It is so amazing to see their lives come together and to see how that have watered each other with love and grown together as a couple. Wishing you both the happiest marriage with love, laughter, and, more travels together.

Age: 31 Where you live: Hagerstown, MD Where you work /what you do: Personal trainer at OneLife Valley Mall How you met Alexis & Andre/fav memories: I met Andre playing basketball in the west end when I was probably like 13 years old. We instantly clicked and became close friends ever since then. I then met Alexis way later on ( probably through Andre, not sure lol). She would always go out with us and hang out. Pinpointing one memory in particular would be very difficult. I would say though Andre and I had a lot of great times in Towson and visiting other colleges. As a whole when Sierra and I would visit in Philly it was never a dull moment, from enjoying the great nightlife and eating the most amazing foods.

Age: 29 Where you live: Gaithersburg, MD with my husband Remy and my favorite cat Sir Louie! Where you work /what you do: I work as a registered nurse in the NICU and absolutely love my tiny humans! How you met Alexis & Andre/fav memories: I met Alexis during nursing school in Hagerstown! We became best friends overnight literally and now 7 years later and are still best friends. Alexis, Jess and I would study in my apartment floor for every exam together pulling all-nighters to get done! We would quiz other and start running around the apartment to keep ourselves awake! Lol Funny story about how I met my Husband Remy is through Alexis!! Jess and I asked Alexis if she had any “friends” around the area since she was the only one that lived in HTown, and Alexis pulled out Instagram’s and started showing us our exact perfect match’s lmao. It was like she knew one day the three us would be best friends and be marrying best friends as well! I am so happy for Alexis & Andre and I’m super excited for my best friend to marry the love of her life. Andre and Alexis love has been undeniable. I am so happy that Remy and I are standing by Alexis & Andres side on their wedding day!

Age: 30 Where you live: SoFlo aka Southern Florida Where you work /what you do: Accounting associate and married to my amazing wife Jessica and we have a bundle of joy for a son Elijah. How you met Alexis & Andre/fav memories: I met Andre in the 9th grade. In Hagerstown there were two major middle schools for the South end that mixed and we both came from each. We started as a brotherhood in sports and grew over the year’s memory by memory, laugh by laugh, brick by brick, building the foundation that would be a bond stronger then blood, chosen family. We have shed blood sweat and tears together. Figuring our own purposes while on our own separate paths, but helping each other in more ways than I can ever say in a text. My favorite memories would be the hikes, the festivals, the car rides talking about life, the finding love with amazing women who happen to be best friends, and the journey itself that has been a beautiful friendship. Then there is Alexis who I met at Clev. Someone who in the beginning was not just a side character in my life but a kind, genuine soul with big LEO energy and big main character energy! Someone who I’ve been blessed to get to know over the years between the festivals, the traveling, the football Sundays. Alexis has become family and I am so proud to have watched you and Andre's love blossom into a strong power couple ready to take life by storm. I am honored to be here by you both and love you guys so much!

How you met Alexis & Andre/fav memories: I met Alexis and Dre five years ago thanks to mark. We met at the beach(IYKYK lol) and they welcomed me into the group with open arms. They instantly became two of my closest friends. Being able to see these two at least once a month during the pandemic(2020) was the number one thing that got me through the hardest year of my life. If you ever want to laugh until you cry, sit in a room with Alexis, Dre, and Mark(and Rocket). Being able to watch the evolution of these two throughout their careers,love, and friendships has been nothing short of fulfilling. To be in the presence of these two, is to feel true love and happiness. They light up any room they walk into and I can't wait to celebrate their love. Lets get yall married!

Age: 28 Where you live: Hagerstown, MD Where you work /what you do: Business Owner How you met Alexis & Andre/fav memories: I met Andre through basketball from the boys and girls club. Through all the summers, all the practices, all the partying, all the conversations, my favorite memory would have to be from our towson days. There was one day when I was going through a very tough time with some personal issues I was dealing with in life and it just so happens he was going through some things at the exact same time. We sat down and I was telling him what was happening, crying. The side not everyone gets to see is the holistic and unconditionally supportive side of dre which is what I got and what any true brother would have done. He gave me a hug and said everythings going to be okay brother. I'll never forget that day. That moment. I'll never forget the feeling of love and support from a friend/brother you rarely find in life. Brothers for life! I knew Alexis since middle school but I never really spoke to her or really met her until the Cleveland days. The one memory I'll never forget was when a bunch of us went up to visit them both in Philly and we had a few drinks in our hands. Alexis and I were walking over to everyone else, I was behind her. Well one moment you see her and the next you don't, all you heard was her yell, literally randomly falling down the steps and having the scars to prove it. She was okay but something always is happening to her lol

Age: 30 Where you live: Gaithersburg, MD Where you work /what you do: Business Intelligence Analyst How you met Alexis & Andre/fav memories: I met Andre at freshman year south high football conditioning, and Alexis at a party none of us belonged at through chardonnay For Andre: I have too many memories to count from. We used to 3 way girls on our “house” phones, keeping each other awake in the back of honor class by smacking the back of necks if we caught the other with their heads down. To racing to wills parents’ house in Saint James neighborhood and almost crashing into each other being young and dumb. That’s just high school. There’s too many to pick my favorite but the list never stop collecting memories since day 1! For Alexis, telling you that you can’t keep coming to Cleveland without bringing your nursing school friends. Few weeks later she introduces me to my wife!

Age: 30 Where you live: Denver Colorado Where you work /what you do: Manager at Scholastic Book Fairs How you met Alexis & Andre/fav memories: The Journey of friendship began in the later years of high school for Andre and I. Both Being Rebels of South Hagerstown, I first recall seeing Andre dominating the basketball court for the varsity team. And I was so honored as we began to spend time together through mutual friends. And as time passed, a unique dynamic was formed. We were able to share our views of the world and gift each other new perspectives. And as our minds became intertwined, friendship manifested into a brotherhood. And that Friendship manifests into a brotherhood. And then that brotherhood manifested unforgettable experiences. We have been to many festivals,concerts, sporting events,beaches, lakes, woods, and mountains. We have been side by side for the highlights of life. It has been such a pleasure to experience the best parts of life with such a marvelous individual. And as we got older and branched out to cities of our own, our friendship followed. We have been a part of each other's transitions, as we have brought splendid vibes and experiences to the places we now call home. It has been an amazing brotherhood, and I can't wait to keep building it up.
