Our love story began in high school. I just got out of a relationship a few months before my senior prom, was not looking for another relationship, but I did need a date. I asked his brother’s girlfriend at the time to set us up. For prom he opened the car door for me, put me first with everything he did. I assumed this was “honeymoon phase” and would fade, but I was wrong. Alex has continued to be the gentleman every girl is looking for.

My favorite memory we have shared is the week long vacation we went on together last year for the 4th of July. We were 1 block from the beach, walked to the beach everyday and watched the fireworks on the 4th of July. It was the first time we were away together for 1 week alone and makes me look forward to the life we will have living together.

Since 2016 when Alex & I started dating, I have experienced devastating loss. After the passing of my sister(2018)& brother(2021), Alex has always been there, truly through thick & thin. He is patient, loving, & kind. Our bond has strengthened through every storm we have encountered together. Including my Dad’s battle with stage 4 cancer since 2023. I always dreamed about my wedding day & my 1 wish is my parents there. $20k would jump start our wedding planning & creating our life together.🩷
