Christian and Alex have been best friends for 13 years now. We met in a study hall period we had together and immediately became friends. After a few weeks, Alex saw Christian as she was walking home from school, and as a joke yelled over, "Hey Christian, you're gonna walk me home right?" Christian responded without hesitation, "Of course, let's go." After that, we have remained close ever since.
Christian and Alex had just finished their freshman years at separate schools and reconnected immedately when they got back for the summer. After a few short months, it was time to go back and Christian had planned to drive from Andover, MA to Bozeman, MT to have a car and live off campus from school. We decided late in the summer that it would be best if Alex came along for the road trip to have a 2nd person in case of any issues encountered, Christian wouldn't be alone. We were able to enjoy cruising across the country staying in different places and really reconnecting after being apart for some time. When we arrived in Bozeman, Christian realized and told Alex that the trip together had been amazing but once she headed back to Maine for college, it would have to come to an end. Alex came up with the bright idea and said, "It doesn't have to end." with a smile on her face. 9 years later, on August 23rd, 2025, we will all be gathering to celebrate not only our wedding, but our anniversary as well.
