Our second date at a Columbus Clippers game

Alex asked Melissa to be his girlfriend with a little prank. He put a fake parking ticket on her car fining her for driving without a licensed boyfriend. She accepted the fine with a "heck yes".

Alex and Melissa shared their first kiss after a lovely day at the Franklin Park Conservatory

We first said "I love you" a few days after this phot was taken. We had been feeling it on this day but didn't want to say it too quickly (because waiting a few days is a huge difference lol)

Our first OSU football game together! The usher who took this picture asked if we were married and Alex said "not yet"

Alex took Melissa to a childhood favorite place; the Dawes Arboretum. As a self proclaimed nature hater, Melissa realized Alex may expand her horizons.

We recreated our first date at La Chatelaine bakery in Worthington for our 2 month anniversary.

In October Melissa met Alex's extended family in Maryland for the first time. We had a blast exploring DC, Annapolis, and Ellicot City with them.

We relived our marching band days at a band competition in October. Can't confirm if we talked way too much about dynamics, articulation, and visuals...

In our first fall together, we went to a pumpkin patch and enjoyed a lot of fun treats for the season.

We attended our first wedding together and daydreamed about our own.

For thanksgiving, we travelled down to Tenessee to be with Melissa's dad's side of the family.

We celebrated our first Christmas together, starting at Alex's church's Christmas Eve service

Our first new years together! And the first day of our wedding year.

Our whirlwind romance landed us here: with Alex proposing in front of the place where we first met.
