Alexis and William met at the wedding of Alexis’s sister. The South Carolina natives chatted all night and quickly became inseparable, going to trivia nights with friends at Locals in Mount Pleasant and attending campus ministry gatherings at The Citadel. On Alexis’s birthday, William proposed to her at the Chapel Street fountain, and the two celebrated with a sunset cruise aboard the Schooner Pride. Due to the pandemic, the couple postponed their Gold Bug Island celebration until their one-year anniversary and instead held a small, socially distant ceremony at Alexis’s grandparent’s home in Lexington, South Carolina.
