...in the late 1970s, Dr. Simon, Alec's father, crossed paths with Deanna's grandfather, the wise and retired Gus Dubbs. Despite his retirement, Gus embarked on a noble quest to research ADD in children through chiropractic and nutrition, choosing Dr. Simon's office as his sanctuary. Dr. Simon quickly came to admire Gus for his extraordinary contributions to the chiropractic profession, both within their kingdom and beyond. Years passed, and Dr. Simon attended the enchanting wedding of Deanna's parents, weaving an early connection between the two families. Fate intervened many years later when Deanna followed a band that, unbeknownst to her, Alec was a member of. In 2021, Deanna and her faithful dog Hatchi returned from a side quest in Texas. Alec, seeing one of Deanna's Facebook posts, suggested they meet. After just a few dates, Alec knew Deanna was his true love. At a festive Christmas party hosted by their friends Aaron and Christine, Alec asked Deanna to be his girlfriend. As 2023 drew to a close, Alec prepared for the grandest of gestures. He chose a ring adorned with his late grandmother's diamond, crafted with great care by his uncle Glen. He confided in Aaron, his loyal best man, about his plan to propose in the romantic land of France. However, a wicked twist of fate saw both lovers fall ill with COVID during their journey. Undeterred, Alec carried the ring with him, awaiting the perfect moment. That moment arrived in a London hotel room, just before dinner and a historical haunted bus tour. Though not the setting he had imagined, Alec felt the timing was perfect. With a heart full of love, he proposed to Deanna. And so, their fairy tale continues.
