‘Our Reason’: The Simpson matriarch is also her husband and daughter’s best friend

Alanna Munn is an amazing wife and mom who has dedicated herself to caring for her family.
Her husband, Alex, said she is constantly thinking of ways to enrich the lives of the kids, Alex Jr. and Bridget, through experiences and creating memories over spoiling them with material things.
Alex also said that she always supported him through the tough times, especially when his father passed away unexpectedly in 2022.
“It was a very difficult time and Alanna went above and beyond anything I have ever experienced in helping me through that and keeping communication updated with our family and friends,” Alex said.
Alanna has a strong work ethic and is constantly striving for self-improvement, which makes her a leader in the field of pharmacovigilance. She is extremely proud of her family heritage and makes sure the kids understand the importance of those that came before them.
Alex and Alanna met in 2018 when they were separately invited to a birthday party. They talked for hours on the back deck eating Wavy Lays and Pepperidge Farm cookies. They got together for dinner the next evening at Good Word Brewery.
Their first official date was at Paranoia Haunted House in Canton, Georgia. Alex laughs as he remembers he made Alanna go through it in front of him.
“When we first started dating, I told her, ‘Words cannot describe how beautiful you are, but numbers can… 6/10!’ She was at first offended, but we still laugh about it.”
He knew she was the one when he told her he loved her while having dinner and playing trivia at the Arena Tavern.
The couple enjoys exploring new places, restaurants and venues, and watching live music. They also like finding ways to improve their home and planning family trips. One great family memory is the Brevard Zoo because the kids got to feed giraffes and go in the hurricane chamber.
Alex and Alanna have made many memories since they first started dating, including having “docktails” on her brother’s boat on July 4th, Christmas at his parents’ home in Florida, and their second anniversary at the Omni Hotel in Atlanta.
Alex said Alanna constantly encourages him to be his best self and still loves him through all his faults and character defects.
“We have shared some really high highs and some abysmally low lows,” Alex said, adding, “But through it all Alanna has had my back and stayed by side. Alanna, I could not have been more fortunate to have you as the mother to our son, my wife, and my best friend. I will love you forever.”
