Alex and Bethanne met officially the first time at a dental office that they both worked at in Chicago, IL but Alex first laid eyes on Bethanne on the division bus on her way to her first day at her new Job in 2016. Everyday after they met they walked together to the bus or train stop on their way home from work, eventually calling themselves walking buddies. It didn't take long for the love between them to grow and for a connection they never thought would be so perfect. Walking, hiking and adventuring together have become a staple in their relationship and will continue to be a huge part of their lives. They moved to California in 2019, just in time to escape the city before the world shut down and were so lucky to land in the central coast where the mountains are high, the beaches warm, the vineyards deep and "where people vacation." They have a dog named Zooka and a cat named Ace that Alex just tolerates. The couple can't wait to share their new hometown with their friends from afar and celebrate their love and marriage with everyone!
