After Alex proposed during a trip to Washington’s Whidbey Island—at their Airbnb, “he pulled out a ring box and asked, ‘Do you want to keep doing what we were doing?'”—the two married in September 2020, only family attending their small lakeside ceremony.
Sanni, Alex shared in his Instagram post, “was radiant as always, the apocalyptic smoke cleared enough for some decent views, and we had a beautiful evening.”
Not quite a year later, as she presided over her best friend’s vows, they learned Sanni was expecting.
As Sanni recounted to People, “It reminded me of the scene from Friends where Rachel keeps spitting out the champagne at Monica’s wedding.”
Much like Alex’s anxiety-inducing climbs, their eldest’s February 2022 arrival was a terrifying whirlwind of emotions, June sent to the NICU immediately after the emergency c-section.
“I don’t know if it compares to bad situations in the mountains where you’re like, ‘Oh, my God, I’m about to die,‘” Alex told Fatherly, “but in a way it’s worse, because it’s the deep dread. Seeing her cut open and bleeding all over, in pain. ‘Oh, my God, my wife’s dying, my baby’s dying.’ Thinking that your whole life is going to be turned upside down in an instant.”
