Alexandra + Johnny
April 24, 2021

In 2010, we met during college in Columbia, Missouri, and became fast friends. Through that friendship, our affection grew and we began dating two years later.
After two years of long distance between Columbia and Springfield, Illinois, Johnny received a job offer in St. Louis cutting the travel time in half. A year later, Ali moved to St. Louis and we finally moved in together in an apartment in the Central West End.
In 2015, we traveled to Europe for the first time sparking a lasting desire to travel the world together.
In 2017, we purchased our first home in South St. Louis. We adopted two cats in 2018 and couldn't be happier living with Bartleby and Loki in our bungalow.
The St. Louis Zoo is a special place for us. It is where we would meet up for dates when we were long-distance dating and remains a favorite pastime of ours during the summer months.
Johnny proposed in May 2018 in an alcove just past the elephants, our favorite exhibit.
When the COVID-19 pandemic caused Johnny and Ali to postpone their wedding, the couple decided to tie the knot anyway at their home in St. Louis on March 28, 2020.
