The long-distance love story began in 2017, after being set up "accidentally" on purpose by dear friends. Alex knew he liked Stephanie when he planned a 9-hour drive to visit her in Orlando (the first of many). Stephanie knew he might be the one when Alex finally met her parents and best friend for her 30th birthday celebration. In 2020, as she packed up her things to move to North Carolina, she dreamed of an engagement. He dreamed of building a home together. But in 2023, the universe brought them the most wonderful and unexpected blessing...their son Gabriel! Although Alex and Stephanie eloped at the courthouse, it's finally time to celebrate with everyone they love! #ArndtYouReadyToParty
