Alena and Garet met at the end of 2018, making it official on January 13th, 2019. They both attended the University of Calgary, where Garet was working towards a Bachelor of Commerce and Alena a Bachelor of Arts. specializing in Crime and Deviance. This would help greatly in her relationship with Garet.

They were inseparable from the beginning, spending most of their days together, even enrolling in the same classes for their last years of school. Both graduating in 2020, they quickly began careers in the challenging environment of the Covid-19 pandemic. While it was a struggle, they kept their eyes on the future and were able to buy a house together in 2021, which they have been living in since. Going on many great adventures together, including Croatia, Florida, trips to Ontario to visit family, and having 2 cats and a dog (yes everything is covered in fur), they knew they were ready for more.

On November 16th 2023, Garet got down on one knee and asked her to embark on life's greatest journey. Now looking towards the future again, both Garet and Alena are ready to dive head first into their new adventure as husband and wife.
