Alex & Dayron’s Downtown Fort Myers Engagement

Their Love Story

Dayron, once a manager at the Express clothing store in the local outlet mall, and Alex, a college student new to Fort Myers, found themselves working together and quickly began to hang out. Their connection was instant, and before long, they were inseparable - not only at work but also in their personal lives.

When the COVID-19 pandemic hit, Alex's college dormitory closed, and she had to return home. Despite the physical distance, their love only grew stronger. They navigated the challenges of long-distance with creativity and dedication, finding ways to nurture their connection.

As they delved deeper into their relationship, Alex and Dayron discovered a shared love for building Legos, binge-watching TV shows, shopping, hitting the gym, and exploring new eateries. Alex brings her creativity into their relationship, running a small business that specialized in custom cups, shirts, and tumblers.

Their journey reached a pivotal moment on their three-year anniversary, when Dayron orchestrated a surprise proposal. He went to great lengths to keep it a secret, even misleading their friends and family about the timeline. The result was a beautiful and unexpected moment. Their anniversary, marked by Dayron's grand plans, took a comical turn as everything that could go wrong did. Despite the chaos, they look back on that day with fondness and humor, cherishing the memories created amidst the unexpected twists and turns.

In their professional lives, Dayron is now a Legal Assistant at a law firm in Fort Myers, while Alex is a dedicated 8th-grade science and drama teacher. Together, they have built a life based on shared values and dreams for the future. They aim to save for their wedding and a future home, expand their family, master the art of dance, and always prioritize their love for each other.

Alex and Dayron's story is a testament to the power of connection, resilience, and finding joy in every moment. It shows that true love knows no bounds and that, with the right person, any obstacle can be overcome.
