Shaun and Alix met around August 2017 after both swiping right on the Bumble dating app. After a few days of online talking about The Office and where Orlando's best tacos were, Shaun asked Alix to meet him for drinks one night. They immediately hit it off and ended up getting dinner as well! Alix was already so smitten that night that she texted Shaun when she got home and asked when they could go out again. The next few months were spent going on Disney World dates (Alix loved showing Shaun around and watching him fall in love with her favorite place) and brewery dates (Shaun's specialty). One October night at Epcot's Food and Wine Festival, Shaun asked Alix to be his girlfriend! They were both over the moon and their journey through life continued! They've loved spending the past few years adventuring Orlando and various parts of the world together!

One signed lease agreement, two years in, and three adopted cats later, Shaun and Alix decided to escape quarantine for a bit and celebrate the Fourth of July with a picnic. Shaun had made an array of snacks to devour while getting some fresh air and playing UNO, their favorite card game. Everything was packed, and were ready to head out when Alix noticed a nice bottle of champagne sitting on their bar cart. “That’s weird”, Alix thought. She asked Shaun where this came from and he made up some silly excuse, nonchalantly saying it was left over from his birthday…which she knew was not true as they had finished it that same night. She shrugged it off and on they went. Two hours and one ridiculously competitive UNO game had gone by and nothing out of the ordinary had happened, so Alix had dropped whatever suspicion the champagne incident had raised. Now it's time to start packing up and they were folding up the blanket when Shaun looked down and said "WOAH! What's this?!" Where Alix found him on one knee with ring in hand, and the rest is history!
