Our Story

One evening in Downtown Dubuque, IA Alex noticed the beautiful, tall Sara and sent one of his friends to go break the ice. Alex was welcomed over and the two hit it off instantly, it helped that Alex was above the height requirement for Sara. Alex quickly learned that Sara was in Optometry School and was living in Chicago. Their first one and half years were long distance as Sara studied hard to pass all of her boards and graduated in May of 2020. The pandemic of 2020 ended Sara’s externships early in March and she moved into their together home as they settled down in Davenport, IA 

Proposal

On July 22nd, 2020 Sara arrived home from work to find Alex dressed up with a single rose in his hand. He handed Sara the rose and told her to get dressed up as they needed a true date night to drink their “Date Night In” bottle of wine. Alex had given Sara a case of wine for their anniversary with each bottle earmarked for an occasion with a tag attached. “Date Night In” hadn’t been consumed yet despite COVID-19 lockdowns. Sara complied and dressed up for the occasion. Alex already had steaks on the grill, mushrooms cooking in the pan, and potatoes ready to be mashed. The kitchen table was set for two with the rest of the dozen roses in a vase and a couple of candles burning. After the amazing meal Alex took the plates in and said he was coming back with dessert, he grabbed the ring he had hidden in the cupboard earlier and walked back into the dining room without dessert. He got down on one knee and explained to Sara how important she was to him and then asked her to marry him. Needless to say, Sara said YES!
