The Couple
Elizabeth, a senior financial analyst at Amazon, and Alex, director of business development at Business France, met online through the dating app Coffee Meets Bagel, which they explain, matches people with similar likes and interests. “We bonded over a shared love of France and dogs,” they say. Appropriately so, then, they were engaged in Paris, and adopted a dog named Jolene. “ so we’d say the algorithm worked really well.” For a year and a half they planned a wedding they describe as “East Coast elegance with Parisian accents” for September 21, 2019, beginning with a ceremony at St. Aloysius Catholic Church in DC, and culminating in a celebration at the Army Navy Country Club in Arlington. The 180-person affair included a blush pink, burgundy, and gold color scheme, and featured their dog, whom the pair say, “as typical millennials” they “are obsessed with.”
