We first met at the Colorado River in Arizona in the summer of 2012. Our interest grew as we got to know one another and we began dating on 1/11/2013 - the day after Megan's 16th birthday, due to her parents rule of "No Dating Before 16". We took each other to school dances, watched each other graduate high school, and eventually both went to Chapman University for college. After graduating college, Alex stayed in Southern California to begin his career, while Megan attended The Ohio State University for her Masters degree. Although being apart was difficult, we continued to love each other through the ups and downs. We have just celebrated our 12th (and last) dating anniversary! Through that time we have grown up together, watched each other graduate 5 times, held 10+ different jobs, and even adopted our perfect pup, Rocky. We are so grateful for each and every one of you who will participate in and witness our love grow into our marriage!
