They met online behind computer screens.
It didn’t take long for Alex and David to meet each other. They decided they would meet face to face at 50 West Brewery.
As Alex came walking up to the front, David saw her and couldn’t even remember how to use his legs. At first site, David fell off the step he was standing on & Alex giggled.
They walked into 50 West and were surprised that the Brewery had been booked for a private party and there was no room for the two of them. They decided to head over to Keystone, instead.
During the date, Alex told David about her little Kora. This didn’t scare him at all. David told her about his sister being a wedding planner and wanting to plan his wedding! This didn’t scare Alex at all either! As the date came to an end, Alex went in for a hug and David went in for a hand shake. They both died laughing and left each other smiling ear to ear.
The next date didn’t end with a hug or a handshake. The next date ended with a kiss and they knew this was something worth fighting for.
About a month into their relationship, David met Alex’s little girl, Kora. The three of them met at Ault park where David eventually surprised Alex and Kora and proposed! Kora, David, and David’s dog hit it off immediately. The rain didn’t stop them and they played soccer together!
Alex puts it this way, “That pretty much sealed the deal and Kora and I fell in love with David. He really is the sweetest guy in the entire world. He works so hard and does SO much. We are so lucky."
David decided it was time to make Alex his wife. He wanted to completely surprise her! He had contacted me to do a session with them at Ault Park and planned to turn that family session into a proposal session!
Not only did David propose at Ault park, later that night He took Alex to Keystone for a drink and then went back to 50 West for a “special brewery tour”. Alex quickly realized that this tour wasn’t a tour at all. All of their friends and family surprised her and the tour turned into a surprise birthday and engagement party!
After he slid the engagement ring on Alex’s finger that day, he looked at Kora and gave her a sweet little necklace. He softly whispered to her, “You know how we always say 'Ohana means family'? Kora, will you be in mine?”
David and Alex,
Thank you so much for trusting me to document this amazing moment for the three of you. You both are such wonderful role models for Kora. I just adore that sweet little sassy gal and she is so lucky to have the both of you! I can’t wait to see how your family grows in the future and what amazing things the three of you will do!
xoxo Emily
