Alec Trujillo and Anastasia Brumley

We met fall of my freshman year and her junior year through on-campus Christian organizations. We didn’t talk much or become friends until the summer semester of 2017. We had both gotten invited by mutual friends to go bowling. We ended up talking for a while. Later that night she bought me dinner because I was just a broke college student, and that’s when I knew that she was amazing. We got to know each other better over the course of the summer and finally, in September of 2017, I asked her out. Because of Hurricane Irma, we had to wait until homecoming week to have our first date. It was worth the wait. We went to Comedy Knight, dinner, and talked for 12 hours afterwards. We knew pretty quickly we were each other’s people, and this year we finally got engaged! UCF wedding coming up fall of next year, six years after I first asked her out!
