Modern day love story....met on Hinge in the fall of 2020 Alex liked Emily's picture with her dog Zara and she liked his back with his dog Murphy. His first message was saying how great dogs were and not long after he planned the first date. They met in person for the first time at 300 East a local restaurant in Charlotte. By date three the dogs met at a dog park and got along very well! Alex started planning a date or two ahead making it easy for Emily to say yes and to spend time getting to know each other. After a few months Alex officially asked Emily to be his girlfriend on New Years Eve. Fast forward over two years with many travels for weddings together and more, many concerts, football games (Gamecocks), plenty of dog walks and always cooking together came March 30th 2023. On a Wigstrom family trip to Orange Lake Resort in Florida a place Emily's family has been going since she was young is where Alex decided to pop the question. After only involving Emily's sister & brother in law in the big plan Alex surprised Emily by proposing at the beautiful park prior to the family dinner plans. Emily first asked for a picture by a pretty Spanish moss tree and that's where Alex then decided was the perfect spot to get down on one knee. After asking Emily to marry him and she said YES they popped champagne and celebrated with her family!
