Despite both attending $0.25 wing night at Buckhead Saloon more Thursday's than they did not, it took the dating app Hinge to bring Alex and Stephen to their first date at Barcelona Wine Bar on a rainy February night.

Stephen remembers, at their third location of the first date, Alex knocking over a stack of glasses very noisily, and that she gave him norovirus on their fourth date.

Alex remembers watching Stephen try to find spots at a bar to watch the winter Olympics on their second date thinking, 'Man this guy is cool, he's going to be so fun to hangout with for a few weeks until he realizes how weird I am.'

A month or so into dating, they took their first trip away together, to Savannah, GA. After three months of dating, they spent 5 weeks apart in different countries and when Stephen facetimed Alex in London while en route from Egypt, she figured he might like her a decent amount.

Stephen planned a Surprise trip to NYC to propose under the guise of 'cousin Rochelle coming to town, so take Friday off'. Alex was suspicious and the potential proposal was dubbed 'Operation Rochelle' to her and her friends.

That weekend, on a rainy Saturday in Central Park, Stephen asked Alex to marry him (with cousin Morgan hidden away to take photos and celebrate!)
