Alex & Kim met through a mutual friend, Olivia, in 2015 at her birthday party. Or as Kim likes to say sometimes, through CraigsList. Explanation: Alex & Olivia met in freshman dorms at UCSB. Kim & Olivia met through work at a quirky allergy clinic; this was Kim's first nursing job that she found on CraigsList.

Soon after Kim & Alex met, Olivia brought him to the beach for Kim's friend's birthday. When Olivia had to dip out, to Kim's surprise, Alex decided to stick around for happy hour with the girls. For the next year or so Alex & Kim kept in touch on social media by "liking" each other's posts. When Olivia moved out of town, Kim & Alex attended her send-off dinner at Sushi Ota. Kim said, "If anyone ever wants to hang out with me, their best chance is to plan a meal at Sushi Ota."

Months later, Kim wished Alex a happy birthday on Facebook & they planned to get Sushi Ota together. But Kim ended up getting sushi with her family the same week & didn't want to eat sushi again. The plan changed to dinner at Karl Strauss. Kim & Alex both showed up not knowing whether it was a date or not... but when Kim went to the bathroom, she looked in the mirror & noticed an obvious perma-smile on her face. Little did she know that she would be wearing this same genuine silly smile for every day she spends with Alex for the rest of her life. She told herself to "check yo self; BE COOL" & walked back to their table.

Kim cancelled her date the next night with another guy named Alex from a dating app because she got weird vibes from him. Instead Kim & the #1 Alex met up at Oscar's for epic seafood tacos for dinner & enjoyed the ocean air at a viewpoint at Bird Rock, La Jolla. The rest is history & they decided not to date anyone else & to live happily ever after.
