We met on Hinge, but what followed felt anything but casual swiping. Our connection grew through a shared love of sports, trying new restaurants, laughing until our cheeks hurt, documentaries, and stand-up comedy.

Our first date was at 38 Degrees and lasted a whopping seven hours. Two nights later, we competed (and laughed a lot) at Dave & Buster’s for another seven hours. Even with Alexis living in LA County and Brennan in Orange County, we made it a priority to see each other—during the week, on weekends, and whenever we could. That all changed when Alexis made the move to Orange County, and our two worlds truly came together.

Being together has always been effortless, from cheering at sporting events, taking quick trips to San Diego, to enjoying lazy weekends at home. Simply put, it’s been the best thing that has ever happened to us.

And then came the proposal—at Orange County Mining Company, overlooking all of OC. It was just the two of us (well, and a waiter discreetly filming), and when Brennan asked, Alexis was literally speechless—he even had to remind her to say yes! It was private, perfect, and perfectly us.

We also never could have imagined feeling so welcomed by one another’s families. Both families are so similar, and we’re pretty convinced that, if given the choice, they would choose their soon-to-be in-law over their own child!

Together, we continue to grow individually and as a couple, always bringing out the best in each other. It’s truly amazing how these two quirky people found one another. We’re so excited for this next chapter together and can’t wait to celebrate it with all of you!
