Once upon a time on a wild spring night in Nashville, Alex was in town with his pals and Hayley was on spring break with PT classmates. One thing led to another, and thanks to some mutual friends (shout out Adam and Willy!), Alex and Hayley were sharing a drink together on the Tootsies rooftop. Later that summer, Alex invited Hayley to Ribfest in Naperville on a "first date" for some food, drinks, and fun in the sun. If it wasn't for Alex photo bombing Hayley's group picture from Nashville, she wouldn't have remembered he was there. Months down the road, both Alex and Hayley found out that they had told their respective group of friends they were going to marry one another. A true fairytale in the making.
In front of the castle at Walt Disney World...did anyone expect anything else? The Bucz and Charlton families, along with some close friends, were on a trip to the most magical place on earth. The Charltons had left to visit New Smyrna Beach to throw Hayley off the scent, leaving her with little to no suspicion the big question was going to be asked. After an early wake up call on Magic Kingdom day, the group made its way in front of the castle for pictures. Alex and Hayley went first, and before Hayley realized what was happening, Alex was crying, shaking, and eventually down on one knee asking for her hand in marriage. She said "YES!" and another chapter in their fairytale was complete. Luckily Alex had looped in the Charltons on his secret plans and they were able to surprise Hayley in time for all of the hugs, kisses, and celebrations.
