Alex and Ingrid met when Alex returned to Wells Fargo, eager to get started on his second stint with the company. However, Alex became more eager to grab the attention of the cute teller that was stationed directly across from him. Though she did not want to admit, the new guy had caught her attention as well. After a few group outings it was obvious that there was a connection. Ingrid was the one he could count on and be there for him during the difficult time of the passing of his mother. It was then that Alex knew she was the one, and the rest is history.

Alex's proposal didn't go as originally planned. COVID-19 sent the world into a pandemic and shut down the country two weeks after the purchase of the engagement ring. He had to pivot from his Disneyland proposal to which he had every detail mapped out. Stricken with "COVID fatigue", Ingrid needed a little vacation and chose the city of their first getaway, San Diego. Alex realized this would be the perfect opportunity to pop the question, but how? On a road trip, Ingrid made a remark, "I can't believe I've never been horseback riding". A light bulb went off. Alex quickly coordinated a surprise sunset horseback ride. The horses, Jax and Levi, took the couple to a cliff overlooking the ocean with the sun setting on the horizon. It is there where Alex and Ingrid dismounted and went for a walk. After professing his love and wanting to spend the rest of his life with her, he dropped to a knee, popped the question, and 6 years to the day from which they met, she said yes! They can't wait to see you in Carmel! #torshizitoinfiniti
