Sebastian is in the US Air Force and was stationed in Virginia when he met Alexandra for the first time. After being in a relationship for 2 years, Alexandra decided to move with Sebastian to Utah when it was time for his military relocation. Another 2 years later, Sebastian proposed to Alexandra. The couple decided to hold their wedding in Virginia so that Alexandra could reunite with her family once more before Sebastian's next relocation.


Alexandra wanted to have a whimsical-themed wedding while staying true to Sebastian's southern roots, and later decided the Marriott Ranch in Hume, Virginia, was the perfect fit. The couple decided on variations of blue and purple for their colors and incorporated them into everything from the decor to attire. Family traveled from all across the US and beyond, with some of Alexandra's family coming from as far as Russia! Their small guest count of 60 allowed for an intimate and fun reception, with the Bachelor Boys band playing live acoustics throughout the evening.
