Jake and Alex both grew up outside of St. Louis; Jake from Broadwell, Illinois and Alex from Paducah, Kentucky. As fate would have it, they both ended up in St. Louis ready to start a life there. Their paths intertwined through a dating app called Hinge. Neither of them ever thought that last swipe right would change their lives forever! Alex and Jake's first date at the local Mexican restaurant was full of Tito's vodka and talk about Kentucky basketball. From the beginning, they were drawn to each other's work ethic, kindness, and amazing families. Although not much changed over the last few years, their love for each other continued to grow. Jake proposed on Alex's birthday weekend (which according to her is the best weekend of the year) at Lafeyette Square Park in St. Louis. He surprised her the next day by inviting many of their closest friends/family to celebrate the engagement. Jake and Alex have now been together for over 3 years and have recently added a new addition to their family, a mini aussiedoodle named Tito! Jake and Alex spend their time loving on their puppy, hanging out with their friends/family, and enjoying everything St. Louis has to offer. They are always ready for a new adventure and we have a feeling that the adventure of marriage will be the best one yet. Here's to the Olsons!
