Alex and Taylor met on the dating app Bumble. After they matched on the app, and a short two days of getting to know each other via text, they decided to meet for their first date at the restaurant Public House in Ferndale, MI, followed by a drink at Oakland Bar. They both had eyes for no one else after this, and after dating for a few months, officially became a couple. Taylor knew already at this point that Alex would be the man she wanted to marry. Fast forward to August 2023, Taylor popped the question to Alex at brunch at The Fed, a restaurant in Clarkson, MI. She proposed with the ring that Alex had himself picked out at a friend’s business just down the block from The French Lady, the restaurant that Alex and his mom, Claude, run and own. Soon after that, Taylor and Alex moved in together to a house they are currently renting in Madison Heights, MI. A few weeks into living together, the Sunday before Labor Day of 2023, there was a car accident that left Alex in the hospital for over a week with a Traumatic Brain Injury. Following the accident, their relationship had its rough moments, but they came out the other side a stronger, more committed couple. Alex proposed to Taylor one morning in October 2023, with a ring that they had previously designed together. Both rings that Alex and Taylor now wear as engagement rings will also be used in the wedding ceremony, and serve as their wedding bands. They both already consider themselves committed to each other, and this wedding will make it official for both legal and “official” purposes.
