We met in 2017 at Gonzaga University, where mutual friends and weekend run-ins quickly turned into something more. After a few months, Thomas worked up the courage to ask Alexa on an official first date, and it was pretty clear from the start that this was special. Between graduations, a year of long distance, and plenty of life changes, our love & commitment only grew stronger. Eventually this led us both to Seattle, where we’ve been building a life we truly love— made even better by our dog Flynn, who loves to keep things interesting. In November 2024, during an anniversary trip to Vancouver, Thomas popped the question, turning a beautiful weekend into one full of surprises, celebrations, and loved ones. Now we can’t wait to celebrate the start to the next part of our story as husband and wife!
