Alex and Ali's journey began in the most modern of ways—on Hinge. Even before having met on Hinge, their paths were woven together, however always one friend circle away. Whether it was their job locations, passing by each other in the Disney parks, or simply having mutual friends, they never met.

From the start, there was a spark between them that couldn't be ignored while communicating on Hinge. They connected deeply, but then, unexpectedly, Ali and Alex no longer were talking. Alex was left wondering, but life had its way of weaving their paths together again.

Six months later, out of the blue, Ali reached out with an apology. She shared a personal story that resonated deeply with Alex, revealing feelings and thoughts that made him see her in a new light. Although they decided to stay friends at that time—Alex was dating someone else—their bond was undeniable.

As fate would have it, Alex' friends grew fond of her at a Taylor Thomlinson concert, and shortly after that hanging out again after the FIFA World Cup, and they couldn't help but notice the chemistry between them. They were right. He realized that the relationship he was in wasn't aligned with what he truly wanted, especially since it wasn't working out with his friends. So, with honesty and clarity, he ended things. This decision opened the door for them to explore something beautiful together.

From that point on, their connection only grew stronger. They laughed, they loved, and they built a future together. Now, as they stand on the brink of forever, they're grateful for the twists and turns that brought them together and made their love story uniquely their own.
