Isabel Herman and Alexander Van Brunt
#VanBruntToBe
Back in September of 2017, Alex and Isabel's love story began, setting off a journey neither of them would ever look back from. It all started with a first date that would become an enduring memory. As they sat down to enjoy their meal, Isabel, with a touch of clumsiness, managed to spill water all over their food. Alex, ever the good sport, saw the humor in it and mentioned that he was known to have similar mishaps. This small moment of shared laughter was a sign that they were meant to be together.
From that day forward, they were inseparable. They hung out constantly, forging a bond so deep that even a temporary separation couldn’t shake it. Isabel took a five-month detour to attend FGCU, but despite the distance, their connection only grew stronger. They knew they had discovered something extraordinary.
Their relationship was sprinkled with little coincidences that only deepened their belief in their unique connection. Both Alex and Isabel shared a love for the number 7, and they came from families with strikingly similar values. Their shared joy came not just from each other, but from spending time with their families and their beloved dog, Bella. Whether it was family gatherings or simple moments at home with Bella, their happiness was found in being together.
On June 3, 2024, Isabel's birthday, Alex chose the perfect moment to make a lifelong commitment. After a long, adventurous night of bar hopping, he managed to pull off the nearly impossible—surprising Isabel with a proposal. It was a heartfelt and unexpected moment that they would both cherish forever.
As they look ahead, Alex and Isabel are excited to celebrate their love with their nearest and dearest on November 11, 2025, marking their 8th anniversary together. Their journey, filled with laughter, love, and countless shared moments, is a testament to the beautiful bond they’ve created.
