We first met in high school and kept in touch on and off over the years.

Then, in 2023, a random like on an IG story sparked something new—who knew that little red heart could lead to love?

After a year of dating—and some truly hilarious obstacles while trying to set up the proposal (Rachel’s not just a little bit of a detective; she’s a full-on hangry one! Yup, she was both hungry and angry up until that very moment) —Alex finally popped the question on a bridge where the lights were out due to construction, but thank God the scenery was quite a view. And she said yes! (... right after saying, “Why here?!” 😂)

Now, with our shared love for adventure, diving, and never-ending magnum ice cream and food (because let’s be honest, what else really matters?), we can’t wait to celebrate this next chapter with all of you!
