It all began in March of 2020, just a week before the world shut down. Rachel was visiting Los Angeles and, by chance, ended up at a popular bar in Venice, where Alex happened to be. A few rounds of drinking games helped break the ice, and their meeting, while brief, was unforgettable. So much so that they stayed in touch as Rachel began planning her big move across the country. When Rachel finally arrived later that year, Alex was one of the first people she reconnected with, and from that moment on, they’ve been the perfect team. After a couple years of braving LA traffic to see each other, they finally moved in together. Rachel’s dog Beans quickly decided Alex was his new favorite human (though Rachel pretends not to mind). The adventure continued in 2024 when Rachel, Alex, and Beans made their way to the East Coast, ready for a new chapter. Not long after settling in, they adopted Bandit- a scrappy, sweet pup who instantly became part of the family. Now, the four of them are thrilled to be celebrating this next big adventure with all of you on their wedding day!
