It was a tale as old as time. Boy downloads Hinge. Sees girl. Swipes right. Girl ALSO swipes right. And then it was off to The Phoenix in Beverly Hills and they never looked back. Alex loved the way Kate was perfect in every way; kind, caring, affectionate, giving, beautiful. Kate loved the way Alex needed cash to pay for the valet (but for the record, she offered!) They started dating soon after, moved in together in November 2019, and then in lockdown they made it official: Kate and Alex forever.
Alex had Kate's best friend Sami take her on an unsuspecting Thanksgiving Eve walk, where he and Kate's sister Meg set up the house with flowers, candles, and a never-ending supply of Taylor Swift love songs. Alex put on jeans for the first time in 11 months and waited for Kate to come home to surprise her with the best question one would want to hear: "Am I now too fat for jeans?" Oh, and also "Will you marry me?"
