In January 2021, we met in your typical 21st century, global pandemic manner: through a dating app (#Bumble). Our first date was at the French restaurant, La Grande Boucherie, dining outdoors in the freezing cold. Alex cleverly planned other COVID-safe dates following that night like an afternoon at The Whitney, a stroll through Central Park with his dog, and grocery shopping and cooking dinner together at his place. We very quickly started spending as much time together as possible, "defined" our relationship in April 2021, moved in together in April 2022, and got engaged in October 2022. Now, we look forward to kicking off our marriage on November 3, 2023 with all of you by our side!
