We met in 2019 on one of the first hot days of May. I (Lexie) decided to go out to my apartment pool to read, when I was surprised to see my stepbrother, Colin, out there! Beside him was his friend, Matt, who happened to also live at the same apartment. Colin introduced us, and what was supposed to be solo "Pooltime and Chill," turned into a couple of long hours of conversation, hitting it off as if we had already known each other. I still had a boyfriend at the time, so things stayed purely platonic. Before leaving, Matt gave me a book called The Alchemist to read, hoping we would see each other the next time we were at the pool. Later on, I became single and felt the pool calling me back! Soon enough, Matt and I revealed we both had feelings for each other and have been building a life together ever since. In 2023, we bought our home, welcomed our precious pup, Sugar, and got engaged! We are so thrilled to share the celebration of our marriage with friends and family.
