Theme Parks
If you're planning to explore a bit before or after the wedding, you’re just a short drive away from the theme park capital. Orlando is home to Walt Disney World, Universal Studios, and SeaWorld. Since you're here in October, you'll get to enjoy all the special Halloween events these parks have to offer! From spooky shows and haunted houses to Halloween parties, it’s a fun time to experience the parks with a seasonal twist.
Our Story
We met in 2019 while working at Disney World—Josh was a lifeguard at the resorts, and Alexa was working at Animal Kingdom. Introduced through mutual friends, we quickly became close. Josh was always making Alexa laugh, and over time, things turned into something more. What started as a friendship grew into love—and into a relationship where we’re truly best friends.
Over the years, we’ve grown together—supporting each other through career growth, moving into our first and now second shared homes, and rescuing our two cats, Bindi and Bree, at just four weeks old. Bindi’s name is inspired by Alexa’s time in Australia (because naturally, she had to include something Aussie). Bree was inspired by our shared love of cheese… yes, really!
In 2023, Josh proposed on a beautiful beach in Cozumel, Mexico during a cruise. We were walking along the shore when, before Alexa knew it, Josh was down on one knee. It was a moment full of surprise, joy, and love—one we’ll always remember.
Now we’re excited for our next chapter together: saying “I do” and celebrating with all of you this October!
