Welcome! Bienvenidos!

We met while salsa and bachata dancing at Rumba Room in Memphis. It was one of those make eye contact from across the room and you just knew. Alex asked Isabelle to dance and the rest is history.

Alex planned a hangout with friends to celebrate Isabelle's birthday. First there was a dinner with friends, followed by drinks at a roof top bar. At around 11pm while pretending he was taking a photo of Isabelle, Alex got on his knee to propose in front of their closest friends.

The Pink Palace is both a house and a museum. In 1922 Clarence Saunders, the father of self-service grocery shopping and founder of Piggly Wiggly, began building a mansion. Memphians called his 36,500-square-foot house, faced with pink Georgia marble, his “Pink Palace,” and the name stuck. In 1923 he lost a battle on the New York Stock Exchange, was forced to declare bankruptcy, and never finished his house. The land was sold to developers. The unfinished mansion was donated to the City of Memphis, which turned it into a museum. It opened in March l930 as the Memphis Museum of Natural History and Industrial Arts. The public, though, still called it “the Pink Palace,” and in 1967 the museum formally became the Memphis Pink Palace Museum.
