The Beginning


Thanks to this three day weekend, we're finally able to start this! This blog has been a long time coming, and I'm excited to be able to show you all what we've been up to since Lexington, VA, getting our jobs and getting engaged.

A little about us:

I'm Alex, and I've been working in healthcare public relations since June, when I graduated from Washington and Lee University. It's finally starting to dawn on me that I'm not going back to school, so it's a good thing we have our wedding to distract me from that!

I get to marry Charlie next May, in 2013. Charlie also went to Washington and Lee and now works in advertising. On top of that, he also designs websites and Photoshops in his free time, so he's a pretty busy guy.

We met in school at a frat house (so romantic!) my sophomore year. After leaving, one of my best friends texted me saying, "Someone here thinks you're cute." When I asked who, he responded, "All I'm saying is that I'm your childrens' sports agent." (Charlie is 6'4", I'm 6'1"2"-ish). Been together ever since!

Charlie proposed July 4th, 2011 in my old apartment. Without giving away too many details, I adored the pictures, music, and the fact that it was just us two.

We're looking forward to sharing not only the planning, but what else we do in our (little) time outside of work!

Love,
A&C
