We met at the gym, of course! Christian was a trainer and Alea was a member. If you ask Christian, he will say that Alea stalked him at the gym. But according to Alea, she was there working out for herself and if Christian noticed her that much, he should have asked her out sooner. That being said, their first date or "hangout" (to use Christian's terminology) lasted nearly 12 hours and a relationship that was supposed to only last for a summer turned into a connection that couldn't be broken.
Christian proposed to Alea on their 6 year anniversary. After a day spent together having fun, they made their way back to the lake where they had their first date. At sunset, Christian got down on one knee and popped the question, Alea of course said yes!
