Jeff and Alex first met eight years ago post college when they began hanging out with mutual friends. They would get together almost every weekend, living it up with all of their closest people and grew to be great friends as well. Three years later their friendship turned into more. Jeff knew deep down that he wanted to be with Alex and stayed persistent. After a fun day together at the Rock the Burbs Train Crawl, Jeff finally asked Alex on what would be their first date. Alex saw a whole other side to Jeff and quickly realized what an incredible guy he really is. She was not going to let that go! Their relationship took off and they moved in together after a short six months of dating. They spent two years in the city living with friends and then moved back to the suburbs where they planned to make a home of where Alex grew up. Over the last five years together they have experienced vacations, new jobs, new homes, concerts, lots of laughs and unforgettable moments with friends/ family. Every year Jeff's family goes on an annual fishing trip to Rhinelander, WI. This has been a tradition for the guys in his family for years and Alex was finally going to experience her first Springer fishing trip! After a day out with family, when they returned to the lake house, Jeff took Alex to the pier where he had candles lit and pictures of all of their favorite memories together. He got down on one knee and asked Alex to be his forever. The two will celebrate their love at one of their favorite getaways in Michigan!
