We both have known each other by having many mutual friends for years. Alex had asked Sydney out in 2017, but the timing was off. After about a year of random Snapchat messages, we finally hung out at a Memorial Day Party. Our first date was the GLT Blues Fest downtown Bloomington where Alex met Vince. How scary to meet the Dad on your first date?! He handled it like a pro though. After about two weeks, we were inseparable and decided to make it official. Just like that the rest is history, we moved in together a few months later. Bought our first house in 2019 and adopted two more fur babies! Alex proposed to Sydney on their second anniversary in June of 2020 in the exact spot he asked her to be his girlfriend.
