Alex and Brennen both studied finance at Michigan State, but did not cross paths until the spring of their junior year of college. The pair met when they both attended a dinner for Ford Motor Company's incoming finance interns. They talked the entire dinner, but did not see each other again until the summer during their internship. Once they started their internships, Alex and Brennen saw each other nearly every day and quickly realized they had a LOT in common. They both bonded over their love for dessert, Michigan State Basketball, and dogs. The summer of 2019 they tried (almost) every ice cream flavor at Guernsey Farms, their senior year they stood in the front row for every MSU home basketball game, and in 2021 they got their dog Theodore. Four years later, Alex and Brennen are ready to tie the knot!
