We were lucky to have a mutual connection in 2019. Taylor served at Geno's Bar & Grill, where Alex liked to stop in for dinner and visit with his friend (and Taylor's coworker) Brad Peterson. Everyone say, "Thanks, Bradley!" Here's a quick rundown of the past five years together -

April 27, 2019 - Taylor saw Alex eating dinner at the bar. After her shift, she secretly bought him a beer. Brad spilled the beans, so Alex came over to introduce himself to Taylor, and they exchanged numbers.

May 26, 2019 - We went on our first date.

June 7, 2019 - We shared our first kiss.

August 10, 2019 - Taylor introduced Audrey to Alex, and Audrey approved of Alex later that evening when he taught her how to make paper airplanes :)

September 14, 2019 - We officially became a couple <3

January 1, 2020 - Alex said "I love you" to Taylor for the first time. Fun fact - Taylor almost said it first to Alex six days prior, but chickened out.

July 31, 2020 - We went on our first trip together to Minnesota. Sitting in a car for 10+ hours and sharing a tiny tent only brought us closer together!

February 25, 2021 - Alex, Taylor and Audrey moved in together.

January 27, 2024 - Alex proposed to Taylor.

May 3, 2025 - We're getting married, and you're invited!
