- Names and Instas

Alice Maule (@alicemauledesign) Alex Randolph (@farmhandrand)

- How did you meet?

We met while hanging out with mutual friends during the weird and wild year of 2020. After talking all afternoon, Alex nervously asked me for my number before I left and we went on a date the next week. On our first date at a wine bar, I (Alice) ordered a bowl of olives since I love them. What I didn’t know is that Alex did not like olives and did not speak up about that. He ended up eating some of them and realized he did love them. I think we both push each other to try new things and I think that’s really healthy in a relationship. We eat olives all the time now haha.

- When did you know your partner was 'the one'?

I knew Alex was the one when he talked about a future with me in it with such ease and no doubt. Nobody had ever made me feel so secure and wanted like that.

-  How are you similar to one another? How do you compliment each other? (opposites attract!)

Alex & I have a similar, easy-going personality. We always want to bring a fun and genuine energy to everything we do in life. 

I have more of an artistic eye and Alex’s brain is more analytical, I can easily come up with an idea and Alex will help to problem-solve and figure out how to make it a reality.

- One thing you love about your partner.

One thing I love about Alex is how supportive he is. He has never said anything negative about all the thrift and estate sale finds I have crammed into our house and he is always my cheerleader.

-Why did you come to SKYDOG for an engagement ring? 

I love turquoise and Alex knew that the ring had to incorporate that with a diamond. Alex struggled to find a jeweler that wanted to work with him and create something that would fit my style. After getting turned down by a few jewelers, Alex finally came across SKYDOG after a friend recommended him. Jordan was able to take the time to listen to what Alex wanted and make suggestions on what would work and look best for the design.

- Tell us about the Ring!

Both of the rings feature turquoise stones. Alice’s engagement band has a diamond in the center and turquoise stones radiating around, the wedding band completes the circle of turquoise. Alex’s band is a very classic style with turquoise in the center.


- Tell us about the Proposal!

Alex proposed in Las Vegas in front of the Bellagio water fountain. He was so nervous all day and blamed his upset stomach on something he ate for breakfast  He insisted all day on seeing the fountain at “golden hour” before we went to dinner. When he looked up the time of golden hour, he only saw the morning golden hour time (7am) and didn’t question that it was November and it would be dark well before 7pm. When we showed up it was dark out but I think it was even better because the lights of the city looked so pretty!

 

-When is/was the wedding? Favorite details?

We got married on the 21st night of September 2024, in Santa Fe, New Mexico. We planned out our wedding weekend at the El Rey Court hotel - We did a karaoke welcome party in the lobby and had our ceremony + reception in the courtyard. Having everyone stay at the hotel really gave us more quality time with all our guests and allowed us to hang out with everyone all weekend. I have to say that I was anti-wedding before all this, but I can’t even begin to describe the amount of love and happiness I felt seeing all of our favorite people having fun together and sharing the experience of a place that I hold dear to my lil heart. Our friend, Matt Murphy, was our officiant and he did the most amazing job of capturing our love - there wasn’t a dry eye in the house during our ceremony.


- What are you most excited about for your future?

We are excited to start a family and create a life filled with love and dogs!
