Bella and Alex first crossed paths at a house party in Whitewater, WI, in 2017, exchanging a few words before going their separate ways. They reconnected in the fall of 2019, and their first date was one to remember — Alex brought flowers, and they saw IT: Chapter Two at the theater. A trip to the pumpkin patch sealed the deal, and they knew they had picked the right one! After meeting each other's families, sharing countless sushi dates, enjoying a trip to Florida, and making memories with friends, they moved into an apartment together in New Berlin, WI, in 2022. On February 24th, 2024, Alex proposed to Bella in La Crosse, WI, surrounded by family on a cold, windy afternoon. By May, they had closed on their dream home in Muskego, WI, where they’ll continue to build a life full of love and adventure.
