We are absolutely thrilled to share our journey with you. Our story began in the digital realm, where modern love found its spark on the dating app Hinge in the year 2021.

Neil's first move was a comment that would change our lives forever. He spotted Alexa's picture, showcasing her love for baseball with a Red Sox hat and a Dodger dog. A witty question about Tom Brady quickly started a conversation that felt like the beginning of something special.

After exchanging playful banter and getting to know each other a bit, Neil mustered up the courage to ask Alexa out for dinner. He chose Toscana in Brentwood, not too far from her, showing he was already putting thought into the experience. The evening unfolded beautifully, with laughter, stories, and a shared plate of pasta.

Yet, the night took an unexpected turn when Neil abruptly asked for the bill after just one glass of wine. Alexa couldn't help but wonder if the connection she felt was mutual. An awkward hug and a vague promise of "we should do this again sometime" left her curious but uncertain.

A chance for redemption came when Alexa extended an invitation for a "Taco Monday" dinner at her place. Neil accepted, and as he stepped into her apartment, he was greeted with a warmth that was more than just the cozy heat inside. Little did Alexa know, Neil secretly loved the apartment temperature, envisioning a winter of comfort.

On that fateful evening, as Neil reached for Alexa's hand, a furry critic named Murphy (also known as Bubbaman) weighed in, placing his paw on Neil's hand. Murphy's approval signaled a green light for their budding connection. It wasn't long before Neil became a part of Alexa's family traditions, joining the annual Cape Cod Grigely family trip and becoming acquainted with more than 40 members of the clan.

A significant milestone approached when Alexa, fueled by a bit of liquid courage, asked Neil to take the leap of moving in together. Their love journey was on a steady ascent, but there was one catch – the move had to be within walking distance of Alexa's closest friends, Sara, Emily, and Roya.

And so, after five years of embracing the West Side lifestyle, Neil's influence led Alexa across the 405 freeway to the vibrant West Hollywood. Their journey together included adjusting to shared living, welcoming a new furry addition named Ruby, and discovering the joy of beachside living in Hermosa.

With Alexa embarking on a new nursing career and Neil focused on physical and mental growth, our hearts are aligned with excitement for the next chapter. Though the future's exact location remains a mystery, one thing is certain: we'll stand together, nurturing each other, cherishing our fur babies Murphy, Ruby, and those yet to come.

Our journey has been a testament to love's unpredictability and the magic that can happen when two souls align. We invite you to join us as we step into the future, hand in hand, hearts full of dreams and the promise of forever.
