Alex and Ashlee Rose have been dating since January of 2017! They met at a WKU Homecoming Game thanks to Ashlee’s brother-in-law and Alex’s close friend, John Morris. (Thanks, man!) After which they discovered a mutual love for all things nerdy, nature, Alex’s dog, Gregor, and each other! (Awww!) They now own a home in Paducah where they live with Gregor and their many indoor plants.

Ashlee is an avid reader, baker, and newfound gardener who loves to hike and watch Alex play video games. After spending the majority of her youth heavily involved in dance and performing arts, she received her Bachelors in Musical Theatre from the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland in Glasgow, UK. (Which is where she met her maid of honor!) She currently works as a teacher, director and choreographer at the Market House Theatre in Paducah. Along with getting married, Ashlee’s goals this year are to do more yoga, find the perfect macaron recipe and reread all Tolkien literature. The majority of her spare time is spent right next to Alex.

Alex is a heavily tattooed history-enthusiast, Twitch watcher, and hibachi eater who likes to taste test Ashlee’s cooking. He spent his youth moving around with his family to places like Thailand, Guam and Live Oak, Fl, while his dad was in the army. He has a borderline photographic memory and can remember lines from books he read once five years ago word for word. And he’s read just... so many books. Alex received his bachelors in Anthropology and subsequently spent 8 years in the Army. He currently is a Production Manager for a mill in Benton, KY that makes staves for bourbon barrels. The majority of his spare time is spent hanging out with Ashlee.
