Alex and Jennie’s story dates all the way back to 2006 (2007?) when they spotted each other, seated across the music room during chorus at Charles E. Brown Middle School during their 6th (7th?) grade year.

“Wow. She has long hair.” thought Alex.

“Wow. Another Asian with a bowl cut.” thought Jennie.

They wouldn’t officially meet until 2010 in Sophomore History class with Mr. Turley. Through all the homework and projects, they finally became friends. From co-starring in South Stage musicals to taking more classes together to that one really cringey photo, they would quickly become the best of friends.

Just.

Friends.

As college began, it wouldn’t be long until Jennie called Alex to hang out again. Boylston quickly became their favorite haunt.

Fast forward to 2016. The two are sitting in Jennie’s car in the Legacy Place parking lot. They just watched the first Deadpool movie. Jennie turned the car on and mustered up the courage to say what’s been plaguing her mind.

“So… I have something to say.” Jennie said, before taking a deep breath.

“… I think I like you.”

“… Oh.” Alex replied. After what seemed like forever, he finally broke the silence.

“Wanna give us a try?”

And that’s where it began. March 25th, 2016: their first date.

From there, they hit it off. Trips to Boylston evolved into trips to New York, which evolved into trips to Disney World, which evolved even further into cruises on the Disney Cruise Line. They bonded over countless plates of Cheesecake Factory, Yamato, and Little Big Diner. They attended many a concert and musical as well, singing along to Blink-182 and K-Pop and Broadway alike. They binged and screamed over anime and horror movies, like Haikyu!! and The Taking of Deborah Logan.

And then, on January 26th, 2024, Alex proposed to Jennie on the top deck of the Disney Dream.

She said yes.

And here we are.
