Their story began more than 10 years ago, when a simple connection through family friends blossomed into something truly special. It all started when Alexa asked Ralph to prom after he helped her with her AP Calc homework. This soon turned into writing heartfelt letters to each other during their first stint as a long-distance couple as Alexa attended OSU her freshman year of college. Those letters, filled with dreams, hopes, and the excitement of discovering each other, laid the foundation for a bond that would only grow stronger with time. She moved back home the next year...

Through the years, they stuck together—supporting one another, facing challenges, and celebrating the beautiful milestones along the way. They’ve grown, both individually and as a couple. Today, they reside in Los Angeles, chasing their dreams side by side. Ralph, a dedicated freelance artist and Alexa, a physician assistant who's found a passion for treating underserved communities.

 

Their journey is a testament to the power of love, patience, and the belief that the best is yet to come. They are so excited to take the next step together and can't wait to share this new chapter with all of the family & friends that have supported them along the way, whether near or far.
