They both were enrolled at Jones Magnet Middle School in Hampton, VA and initially met in 6th grade in 2002. Two years later their parents bought houses in the same neighborhood! Although they ended up attending two different high schools their friendship continued to grow over time. Alec even asked Christina to accompany him to Bethel High School's Ring Dance in 11th grade! (See photos tab!)...........15 years later Alec posted to Facebook about visiting home after completing eight years in the Air Force. Christina saw her chance, sent a message and the rest is history!
