On May 2, Alex Dias and Michelle Nguyen exchanged vows at Salt & Straw, an ice cream shop in Portland, Oregon, that holds sentimental value in their relationship. Michelle, a sports medicine doctor, grew up visiting this shop, and it played a significant role in her decision to return to Portland. Their love story began with an initial date that didn't go as planned, but fate brought them back together during an ice storm in January 2024. Their connection deepened over shared visits to Salt & Straw, especially enjoying the unique Arbequina olive oil-flavored ice cream. Alex proposed at the same location in June 2025. The couple's wedding was organized by Salt & Straw, featuring a custom strawberry tres leches ice cream cake and a bouquet creatively placed in a waffle cone. The ceremony was officiated by Tyler Malek, co-founder of Salt & Straw, and included serving ice cream to their guests, making it a truly memorable celebration.
