ABOUT THE COUPLE

How They Met
Just graduating from Northwest University in Kirkland WA, Alex took a position as a youth pastor in Colfax. Carissa, a sophomore at Washington State University attended this same church with her family. After working together through various youth functions and a fun day at the river with friends, Alex finally got up the nerve to ask Carissa out!!! The rest is history!

How He Proposed
Carissa and Alex headed to California to visit Alex’s parents. The second day there, they all headed down to Santa Cruz to spend the day in the sun on the beach. After walking around the city, it was Alex’s parents who suggested they head to a beautiful little beach for some relaxation. Of course Alex had different plans! After taking a walk through the sandy waves, Alex suddenly stopped and wrapped his arms around Carissa. After talking about the beautiful ocean, he went on to suggest that it was amazing they had their first kiss at a pond, he told Carissa he loved her at the lake, and asked her to become his wife at the ocean. Carissa turned to Alex who was on one knee holding out a beautiful ring. Crying and laughing, of course she said yes!!!
