Hillary and Alex were introduced through their friends Heather and Nate. Nate was coordinating Heather’s wedding and Heather suggested that Alex needed to meet one of her friends. A few weeks later Hillary and Alex went to a Braves game for their first date. Just a few months later the two headed to Germany for the Christmas markets where they both realized they had something special. It would be just a few short months later and Alex would propose in Downtown Monroe with Elliot there too.
