Alex and Denise met for the first time through mutual friends back in 2013, which never amounted to much other than a ‘Hey’ here and there. It wasn't until Denise was home for Thanksgiving in 2022 that things started to spark between the two; she was living in Atlanta at the time and Alex lived right outside of Savannah.

Denise and her mom went to Wild Wing Café to watch a band the night before Thanksgiving, Alex ended up being there meeting some of his friends. Within a day or two after seeing each other Alex messaged Denise, which led to them talking sporadically.

Due to cancelled plans and distance, the two found themselves talking less and less.

In May 2023, they both happened to be at the same place yet again. Denise was in Kentucky with her friend for the Derby and Alex was in Kentucky with his family for his brother's graduation. Alex ended up calling Denise that weekend and made it clear that he would no longer reach out to her if she didn't make, and follow through, plans with him.

From then on, any time Denise was in town to see family, she would see Alex. The two spent several late nights on the phone talking for hours and texting throughout the day. That slowly progressed to her coming into town just to see Alex, which led to Alex eventually coming up to see Denise regularly as well (despite all the traffic).

September 27, 2023, is when the two decided to make their relationship "official". Denise eventually moved back to Savannah to be closer to her family, and of course Alex. On February 1, 2025, is when Alex proposed at Palmetto Bluff, South Carolina.

Now they share three perfect dogs and together they enjoy cooking, playing games, spending time outside, and most of all, making memories with their closest friends and family!
