In summer of 2015, Axel and Amy found themselves as new friends with a lot in common. Their first date was at a local bar and consisted of rounds of pool, as they sipped their craft beers. The next day, Axel invited Amy to the lake and out on the boat with his friends. (The picture above!) They spent from sunrise to sunset on their second date. It didn't take them long to desire spending every moment of their free time together. Although Amy was out in Cooperstown for nursing, Axel would visit at every chance.

That summer they enjoyed exploring new places and trying new beers- and binge watching Games of Thrones! Without hesitation, they decided to move in once Amy returned to the area. They lived in a downtown apartment and continued to enjoy their new love.

Now, in 2018, Axel and Amy own a beautiful home and cherish their (not so little Bullmastiff) puppy named Lady. They still enjoy trying new breweries and their love has continued to flourish. Amy and Axel also enjoy traveling, as they recently relaxed on the beaches of Hawaii, and are very excited to visit the beautiful coast of Ireland for their honeymoon.
