Story
We met in May of 2015 at Flaherty's Arden Bowl through some mutual friends. Alex was new to the area and Audrey was back from school visiting with high school friends. The meeting between the two was nothing more than a simple hello all night. Throughout that summer, Alex began showing up to events that Audrey was also invited to. Soon enough they became friends who would sneak out of the parties to talk one on one, which lead to 'friend' outings like rollerblading, stand-up paddle boarding, and visiting the Minneapolis Sculpture Garden. Audrey was adamant that they were just friends, but it was clear to everyone there was much more to their story.
Fast forward to August 14th, 2015, Alex brought Audrey on their first official date to a Minnesota Twins game. Alex even made it onto the big screen! Throughout the years, we have been each other's biggest supporters as we worked through our various education programs. Audrey has always told Alex that she did not want to get married until they were both done with school. In the meantime, Alex has been patiently waiting for that time to come.
The time has finally come! We are so excited to celebrate with you all!!
