Catherine and Alex met in 2015 while attending Miami University for their undergraduate degrees. They were introduced by a mutual friend (Alex's groomsman, Sean) at a party where they talked about their love of video games, Christmas time, and pizza! After the winter break, Alex and Catherine had a few dates before they become "official" and a few months later Catherine graduated and moved home to Columbus. Alex still had 3 semesters left at Miami, so they took turns visiting each other on weekends and holidays for the next 18 months. Eventually Alex graduated and the happy couple moved to the Cleveland area together. While vising his family for Christmas, Alex's mother gave him his great-grandmother's wedding ring to propose. He reset the diamonds in a new ring and popped the question in May 2019. The couple is so excited to spend the rest of their lives together and share their big day with their loved ones.
