Our Wedding

Brian and Alena met on Hinge. Their first date was in Midtown Sacramento at the "Our Street" Night Fair. They spent the evening walking, talking, and eventually Alena talked Brian into getting ice cream (he eats very clean!). Alena was initially attracted to Brian because his Hinge profile matched PERFECTLY with her responses to the type of partner she was looking for "Someone who enjoys the outdoors and an active lifestyle. I need a partner who is athletic, driven, hardworking, and radiates positivity!" Brian was initially attracted to Alena because he couldn't stop staring at her big blue eyes. He quickly realized the eyes were just the beginning! Fast forward to lots of dates over a short period of time and the two fell in love. Brian and Alena immediately connected over exploring the outdoors, cooking vegetarian meals together, and planning their future goals. Brian &amp; Alena are both extremely competitive and push one another each day to be a better version of themselves. They strongly believe in the moto "if you are comfortable, you aren't growing!" Brian popped the question at Lake Tahoe on a snowy trail behind Emerald Bay. The two were hiking Eagle's Lake and shared the private moment together. He got down on a knee in the snow. She did not cry, but excitedly said YES!&nbsp;

A Power Couple full of competition
