We met in March of 2019 with help from our friend Hinge. Our first date took place at Max's Wine & Dive, and while it was a little awkward, we both knew there was something worth exploring. A week later, we went on our second date—and the rest, as they say, is history. We fell in love by doing all the things that 20-somethings do: going out on weekends, attending concerts, trying new restaurants, and traveling. We've been blessed with a big group of friends from both Ellen and Alex's college days that keep us very busy. To say they’re rambunctious would be an understatement, so buckle up for a fun time at the wedding! We moved in together in August of 2022. We currently live in Denver near Sloan's Lake with our cat Daisy who made Ellen a cat person. Fast forward to September 2023, when we traveled to Italy for a friend’s wedding. After the wedding, Ellen insisted on making a stop in Barcelona, a city close to her heart after studying abroad there. We were joined by two of Ellen’s best friends, Amanda and Savannah, and their boyfriends, Corey and PJ. What Ellen didn’t realize was that she had unknowingly planned her own engagement. She even booked the tickets for our sunset trip to Parc Güell. That's where Alex got down on one knee and we both blacked out so we're not really sure what he said. All we know is that Ellen said YES!
