Alexandria and Justin entered the wedding giveaway as a long shot. With him working as a firefighter and her in graduate school at WIU, they hadn’t planned on getting hitched until October of 2021. They had toured The Bend and she had purchased her wedding dress, but it didn’t look likely that they would be able to swing their dream wedding any time soon.
Enter QC Wed Me to give the couple the surprise of their lives.
Picture this— Alexandria was at The Dollar Tree when she got a text from QC Wed Me. She immediately texted Justin, who thought she was pulling his leg. In fact, Justin didn’t believe it until he saw the announcement on the QC Wed Me Facebook page.
Alexandria and Justin have been engaged for a couple months but dating for four years. They met while Alexandria was working at her family restaurant. It turns out Justin had a tiny crush on the cute waitress and once told his family, "I am going to date that girl one day.” Little did he know that a friendly spat with a roommate over pizza would later open the door to the first date and forever.
Justin proposed in Colorado just a few months ago. Alexandria was so excited to go and take pics with Justin at Emerald Lake on the third day of their trip, but he was too excited to wait. So in Estes Park on the first day, Justin got down on one knee and popped the question!
Alexandria and Justin are so excited to get married on April 17— a full 18 months ahead of their planned wedding date. They envision a wedding day that is breathtaking, dazzling, and memorable. And, I’m sure with all the amazing-ness we have planned for them, their wedding will be all of that and more!
QC Wed Me is the Quad Cities’ first comprehensive wedding blog and vendor directory. If it’s love and it’s in the QCA, we want to know about it!
Dream it. Plan it. Love it.
