Alex and Ivy originally matched with each other on Tinder, but met in person on St. Patrick's Day by accident. They were both in New London for the “New Dublin” celebrations, Alex was driving a shuttle bus and Ivy was out with friends. When Alex approached her at Johns Bar in New London, both Alex and Ivy were too nervous and Alex actually struck up a conversation with Katie until Katie stepped in and broke the ice for the 2 of them. Fast forward to later in the night and Alex not only dropped the two of them off at Greg's house, he even stopped to get them some pizza!
Alex wanted to give Ivy a real “Green Bay” date since she had not experienced much of the town before then. They met up at the Cabela's parking lot, Alex with flowers in hand, to take a tour of Lambeau Field. Alex shared all of his favorite Packer memories. They stopped for a quick drink at Hinterland Brewery where they got to learn more about each other. Finally they ended the night with dinner at Kroll's for the well known and Green Bay staple, "butter burger".
"The pandemic proposal" Alex’s original plan of proposing to Ivy at a lighthouse was ruined by the start of the pandemic, so he had to get creative. Alex and Ivy went on a walk around Doty Island and ended up on the Isle of Valor, one of their favorite places to be. The night before Alex had gotten down on his knee, only to end up tying his shoe. So when Alex got down on his knee on proposal day Ivy thought he was joking again and started to walk away. Alex called out and when Ivy turned around, he was on his knee with a beautiful ring ❤️
