Numerous trips, adventures, laughs, and cries led to Florence, Italy in the summer of 2019. Alexandra wanted to take Alex to Michelangelo Square- this had been her dream for years! This was the one place that she had always thought of him while studying abroad in college. When she visited with her parents in 2010, she saw how beautiful and romantic this place was and made a wish to return to this spot with the love of her life one day.

After a day of adventuring around Florence and a walk in the heat wave before dinner, Alexandra and Alex made their way up to the Michelangelo Square. Trying to take selfies that were not working out, Alexandra asked a stranger to take their picture. As she was taking their picture, Alex suddenly became very peculiar about the angle of the camera. He asked her to take another picture. Alexandra thought he was being crazy and didn’t understand why the guy who never wants to take pictures was suddenly invested in this one. As she turned to give him a confused look, she found him on one knee with a ring in hand. The moment was romantic, perfect, and felt like a fairy tale. It was everything every little girl hopes for. Alexandra couldn’t believe the moment she had hoped and prayed for had actually happened.

The Alexes are so excited to share their big day with all of you and see what adventures life brings them next.
