It was July 23rd, 2016. Mackenzi had gotten home from a work trip that evening and decided to meet up with a friend at Dogwood at the Domain. Alex had met up with work girlfriends for a night out on the town. Alex walked up to Mackenzi after noticing he had been staring at her for a majority of the evening. The two exchanged numbers, and the rest is history. Some people wouldn't consider meeting at a bar around last call romantic, or "traditional" but their relationship is far from it, and they wouldn't want it any other way. Alex was introduced to Mackenzi's son, Arya, after 6 months of dating and a couple days after his 4th birthday. That day reinforced what they already knew to be true. They were meant to be partners in life and in love, and they were family. Mackenzi decided to pop the question and ask if their love could last a lifetime and the two got engaged in June 2018. The couple is ecstatic to celebrate their love and join their families with all of the people they love and cherish dearly. Please help them celebrate on November 9, 2019.
