Alec and Julie met when they were in high school, and both were on the golf team. Over the years of playing golf together, they carpooled and bonded over how terrible they were at golf. Their first official date was their school's 2018 Homecoming, where they went with a group of friends. They spent the next year apart, Alec finishing up high school, and Julie going to college out of state. After graduating from LCA, Alec joined Julie at Grove City College. In June 2021, Alec took Julie to a nice dinner and then invited her to walk around with him at Cox Arboretum State Park. He then led her to a beautiful picnic area where he proposed. Julie, of course, said yes!
