The moment we met at Boomtown Brewery! Which lead to our first date a few days later. It was Memorial Day weekend and we ended up spending 12 hours talking around Long Beach, where Jess used to live before Alex brought her over to the IE. lol

“Is it summertime magic?” We went on many dates that summer and even planned a road trip to the bay. Jess even met all of Alex’s family on various occasions and was introduced as his “lady.” Jess decided she wanted to make it official so she could formally introduce Alex as her boyfriend to her family and NorCal friends.
