Our Wedding

In April of 2021 Rosie met Alex at Bender Park in Oak Creek for their first date. Alex brought along his lovable pup named April, and the three spent the day together like they'd known each other for ages. They played with April and strolled the nature trails, chatting about everything under the sun. The day flew by and the couple ended their date at Kelly's Bleachers for dinner, where they were so captivated by their conversation that they barely touched their food. By the time they parted that night, both knew something truly special had begun.Since that day, Rosie and Alex have been inseparable. They’ve filled their days with little adventures around Milwaukee, midnight cookie runs, and countless riverfront strolls, often stopping at Café Benelux, their favorite spot, for a cozy meal. From the start, being together was effortless. They just fit — laughing together and moving through life side by side in a way that felt so natural. Alex and Rosie always knew they were the one; they were each other's best friend, their joy, their everything. Then, on July 3, 2022, their hearts grew even fuller with the arrival of their sweet son, Lane Jackson. From the first moment they held him, Rosie and Alex felt their family was complete. Lane brought them more happiness than they’d ever imagined, and watching him grow only deepened their love and joy as a family. Eventually Alex knew it was time to take the next step. With a little help from Rosie's cousin Sarah, he set up a special moment during a casual “photoshoot.” Rosie was completely unsuspecting, happily posing and laughing with Sarah’s direction. As Sarah made some final touches, Alex quietly got down on one knee. When Rosie turned, there he was, ring in hand. Agreeing to go through this crazy life together, Rosie said yes to forever with her best friend. Now, Rosie, Alex, and Lane are ready to celebrate their love story with everyone they cherish. They can’t wait to start this new chapter surrounded by family and friends, promising to keep laughing, exploring, and loving — just as they always have.
