Alex and Raechel's love story started in August 2023 at a bar on Main Street in St. Charles. After meeting, they quickly became inseparable, bonding over text and late-night FaceTime calls. Their first date was to a St. Louis Cardinals game. Their second date was to Ballpark Village to watch the Chiefs opening game. It was on this date that Alex officially asked Raechel to be his girlfriend. Over the next two years—filled with meeting family, friends, late-night talks about the future, moving in together and getting their first dog—they fell more in love. Alex proposed on August 30, 2025, a perfect day surrounded by their family and friends. We are thrilled to be taking the next step! We can't wait to see you all on November 21, 2026. Get ready for a celebration—we've waited a long time for this, so let's party!
