Alex was working as a network tech in Concordia Kanas. Rachel had just moved into her new place in Manhattan Kansas. The stars aligned and the rest was history.

After our first date, we knew we had found something special. We became each other's go-to person, navigating life hand in hand. The one thing we were consistently sure about was each other.

From walks through Tuttle Park to waiting an hour for a midnight snack at The Varsity Truck (IYKYK) to binge-watching every movie made by Happy Madison Productions, we feel so lucky our early days were spent in the little apple.

In our 6 years of dating, we've moved 4 times and made countless memories, many alongside our wonderful family and friends (that's you!).

We love each other deeply. Why, you ask?

Alex will tell you that Rachel keeps him grounded making every day feel comforting and exciting. Rachel, on the other hand, will share that Alex has a special way of keeping a smile on her face even in the darkest times.

We feel so grateful we found each other. Join us in the summer of 2025 as we say "I do" and kick off the next phase of our life together in one of our favorite places. We're SO excited to share this day with those who've been a part of our journey! :)
