Almost five years ago, during the lonely months of the pandemic, we unexpectedly found a connection—on a dating app of all places. Our first date was a socially-distanced meeting in a park, but even six feet apart, there were undeniable sparks. From that moment, we couldn’t help but spend every day together, embarking on trips, adventures, and discovering the vibrant city of Pittsburgh, which has since become our home. We moved in together, sharing a cozy apartment and, of course, caring for Rosie’s childhood cat and chinchilla. These past few years have been filled with laughter, kindness, and plenty of shenanigans. On Christmas Day of 2024, Alex proposed to Rosie with a book telling the story of our journey together. We feel incredibly fortunate to be getting married on the anniversary of the day we became a couple, and we are beyond excited to invite you all to celebrate our love as we begin this next beautiful chapter of our lives.
