Alexis and Daniel have known each other since Daniel joined Alexis' 5th grade class back in 2008. Long time acquaintances with mutual friends, they grew up in a parallel way, not really overlapping until winter of 2019. Their mutual friends is what reunited them after almost 4 years of college, not having seen each other since being paired to walk into high school graduation together in 2016. The reunion sparked interest which led to a friendship, staying in touch through college graduation, and supporting each other from afar for these big milestones. Daniel asked Alexis to be his girlfriend in April 2020 and they stayed together long distance when Daniel got sent to his first military base in Texas. Two years of long distance and the couple finally moved in together at Daniel's second station in the Florida Panhandle. Alexis and Daniel have been an inseparable pair (other than military requirements) since day one of their relationship. From best friends, to dog parenting, to extremely competitive game night opponents, they are great at supporting each other through everything life has thrown their way. Daniel popped the question on February 25, 2023 and the rest is history!!
