In true modern fairytale fashion, Alex wooed Jordan online with profile pictures of his hiking, traveling, and parkouring. Jordan reciprocated by sharing pictures of her dog and recommending an epic first date of Chicago pizza and beer. Sparks were immediate, giggles were had, and they now celebrate their anniversary on February 4, the day of that first date.

After three years of adventures in coffee, food, more coffee, and annoying their friends by calling each other "Babe," they decided they wanted to share more than just the "Ch" in their last names. In December of 2019 Alex proposed on a bridge overlooking Chicago at the Lincoln Park Zoo Lights. Jordan barely gave him a chance to pop the question before she said yes!

A big thank you to all our friends and family who have supported our relationship. We are so grateful for the additional people we've gained in our lives by meeting each other, and look forward to celebrating with all of you on November 13, 2021!
