Alida Beste and Alex Frisbie were living in different states in 2019 when they first connected playing Fortnite together. While they both hoped to win a Victory Royale, they found something even better. They kept in touch, becoming online gaming friends before beginning a long-distance relationship during college. After graduation, the couple settled in Nebraska, and in 2023, during a vacation in Hawaii, Alex proposed to Alida at sunset on the beach. Their wedding took place at Bella Terre Vineyard, a rustic venue inspired by the Italian countryside. The vineyard provided a picturesque backdrop for the ceremony, with an intricate iron gate and limewashed walls serving as the altar. Alida wore a classic dress with a daring open back, complemented by a trailing veil with floral appliqués. To complement the eucalyptus in the floral design, bridesmaids wore varying shades of green, while Alex and his groomsmen opted for sage green ties paired with light-colored suits. The flower arrangements echoed the warm tones of the venue—creams, yellows and sunset orange, accenting the terracotta details and exposed brickwork. Following the ceremony, friends and family moved inside the venue hall, which was designed to evoke a charming European city, with walls depicting Italian street views. Alida and Alex entered through a hidden entrance in one of the storefronts and descended into a dramatic staircase to join the celebration. The reception featured many personal touches, including an ice cream bar, a specialty cocktail named after their dog, Jynx, and plenty of Coldplay songs to dance the night away.
