How did they meet?

First comes Hinge, then comes marriage..

Alex and Breanna first started talking in late December 2020 through a dating app on their phones called Hinge, as most 20-somethings did when the world stopped turning! Their first date was January 3rd, 2021 just after both Breanna and Alex had returned home from Christmas with their families. Alex brought to their first date flowers, wine and take-out sushi, an obvious green flag for Breanna, then took the two of them ice skating. What Breanna didn't expect was that she would be forced to rent the basic flimsy skates while Alex had brought his own pro-skates. And so, for the next hour of their first date, he skated circle after circle past Breanna.. the beginning of a playfully competitive relationship. He remained a gentleman off the ice, however.. opening her door all night and at the end of the evening, they had an accidental run in with Breanna's group of friends. They clicked instantly and from there, the rest was history..

Who made the first move?

Breanna swiped right first, Alex made the first date plans.

How did Alex propose?

December 15th, 2023

Alex surprised Breanna with a sunrise hot air balloon ride, something she's been eager to do for years! They spent the day together just them before sharing drinks and celebrations with their friends the following day.

What's your favorite things to do together?

We fancy a round of Mini Golf complete with trash-talking and a local craft beer, and love to walk our dogs, Ivy and Banks, near Windansea Beach. Every chance we get, we love to travel and explore new parts of the world together.

What's your most memorable date?

Last Valentine's Day we went to spin a clay pot for our home together (think the movie Ghost vibes). We had nearly completed our pot; it was perfect and symmetrical and we both felt really accomplished with our work. Just as we were making our finishing touches, Alex's foot slipped and hit the pedal into high speed! The pot circled round and round, faster and faster, until ultimately flying off the base and slamming into Alex. The destroyed piece still sits lopsided in our kitchen.

What's the most memorable trip you have taken together?

Our first international trip through the country of Croatia in October of 2022. This one was special to us being our first international trip together, as well as getting to explore a country that is part of Alex's ancestry on his mothers side.

Where are you going on your honeymoon?

All over Thailand!
