There are high school sweethearts… and then there are Meredith and Alex, who have been sweethearts since childhood. Just in case your heart hasn’t already exploded, we should add their parents threw their baby showers together. (So, maybe we could even say they have been sweethearts since the cradle?) We celebrated Meredith and Alex’s South Haven, Michigan engagement early last fall. Meredith grew up visiting this beautiful west Michigan town with her family. After she began bringing Alex on her family trips, the town’s significance grew even more.

We were so glad when they asked us to meet them in South Haven. Matt and I never had the opportunity to visit before, so we were more than happy to spend an afternoon exploring the shore. Meredith and Alex were so sweet. We spent the evening laughing, even if Alex did pick on us a few times about Central Michigan’s football loss to Western earlier that day. (Who knew two Chippewas could get along so well with a Bronco?)

We could not have hand picked a more breathtaking sunset or more beautiful light for Meredith and Alex. It’s exactly 99 days today until they say “I do!” We can’t wait to spend their wedding day by their side. Cheers, Meredith and Alex!
