Alex and Amy attended the same college at SUNY Brockport. They met through mutual friends on a few different occasions throughout the years. It wasn’t until 9/11/2020 that the two reconnected at a bonfire in Brockport. Later, around Halloween 2020, Alex invited Amy out with friends. Amy unfortunately had a COVID scare (this was back when COVID-19 was a big deal) so she declined. Through their mutual friend, Marcus, she asked if Alex could “hit her up.” Alex then slid into Amy’s Instgram DM’s (as the kids say), and the rest is history.

Alex and Amy started dating on December 6th 2020 after. A love founded on a shared enjoyment for diverse food, travel, cats, TV, and hiking blossomed as Amy finished her senior year at Brockport and Alex finished his final year in grad school. In January 2023, they adopted their first cat, Céline, together. Alex and Amy moved in together in July 2023 in Greece, NY. Alex proposed on January 13th, 2024 during a weekend getaway in Saratoga Springs. They decided to have their wedding in Amy’s quaint hometown in Sackets Harbor, NY, at a beautiful waterfront venue.
