The first day that they saw each other was when George walked into the band room in middle school after just having moved from the UK. There was an instant connection between the two of them, but due to George’s stunning lack of social skills and awkwardness, they didn’t ever date in middle or high school, instead remaining friends. They skied together and were both in band for a few years, still bonding and sharing great experiences. Once leaving high school they both decided to see the world a bit, earning some life experience, both dating weebs, and experiencing the wonderful countryside of Afghanistan. After not seeing each other for a few years, George decided to see if Alarie was still down for some skiing, and they immediately hit it off and started dating. George proposed to Alarie on December 29th 2019, and then was immediately deployed again for 5 months, unable to spend time with his new fiancée. After having to postpone the wedding numerous times, they finally have the opportunity on December 28th 2021, two years after having proposed.
