2023 seems to be the first year post COVID that has finally settled down. Not just for me, but for a lot of people. This Denali Jean Ranch Wedding was my only summer wedding, which is so nice. I’ve said it once, I’ll say it a million times… I’m a hot girl in the most literal sense. I do not handle heat well, so this August wedding was enough for the whole summer!
They originally met on the good ole internet senior year of college. Once we started talking, they figured out our families were mutual friends. Super small world! They made their relationship official after 10 days and endured long distance shortly after. Alex was at Virginia Tech & Haley was at CNU. A short 5 hour drive every 2 weeks or so is how they started their relationship.
Fast forward to now, a little over a year later… Alex is in law school, she’s at Towne & they just know! After a year of dating, they just knew. While Haley visited him at Virginia Tech, he proposed on the golf course they frequently visited. His younger sister took photos of the proposal and she said YES!
This wedding day would not have been nearly half a smooth if not for the amazing Josh & Elizabeth Mann of Mann & Wife Events. I am SO thankful for them, their patience, willingness to grab everyone waters, and take care of all of the tiny details of this day! Haley & Alex were so blessed to have this amazing vendor coordinate their day.
