“We first met after a show at our community theater four years before we started dating. The time in-between we would run into each other on campus, but didn’t start dating until swiping right on bumble! (Yes, we are a bumble success story!) I knew he was the one after realizing he truly was my best friend and I could tell him anything.” – Alexis
“When it was time to say our vows, we didn’t plan on or know who should go first – so we played rock, paper, scissors – winner went first!” – Alexis
“My favorite DIY was making MilkBar Pie. I love to bake and it was really special being able to do it myself. Loren’s favorite DIY was making our cake toppers. He 3D printed Holly Warbuton’s animated characters from Honne’s album “no song without you.” That album was released in the middle of our long-distance stretch and it was the soundtrack for that period of our lives. ” – Alexis
“Our theme #oncloudwines was all about US! All of the details and vendors are part of our story as a couple. We used our favorite songs during the ceremony, catered from our favorite date spots (@bakersfieldpizzaco @vidaveganco), and had our favorite drinks at the bar (spicy margaritas). We also made sure we had an espresso bar setup since we are extreme coffee enthusiasts and wanted everyone to have the energy to dance the night away!” – Alexis
