Max and Alaina first met when they were 16, shortly after she moved and started going to the same high school. Towards the end of their Junior year they hung out with the same friend group nearly everyday and continuously remained close friends even after Max went into the Navy. Years later, during Christmas, when Max was visiting home he asked Alaina out to what they both thought was just dinner....it wasn't. It quickly became very obvious that they were definitely meant for each other. Another year later when Alaina started ASU, they both had an idea, they could get married now and celebrate later, be able to see each other all the time and really make things work. They kept it a secret because they both knew they would eventually want to do this all the right way. Fast forward to today and now everyone knows (a secret like that can't be held onto for forever) and they are both so happy it's finally out in the open and now they want to (finally) celebrate with all of you!
