One day, Gia was shopping for an amplifier to perform live music with, and she felt a sudden urge to call Sam Ash Music Store to ask some questions. Alex, who was a sales associate at Sam Ash at the time, answered the phone and told Gia that he would help her find the perfect amp. Gia was so excited about this new purchase, and so confident in Alex's help, that she went into the store that same day. The two clicked right away and had long conversations about music and meditation. After helping Gia find the perfect amp as he promised, Alex carried her amp out to the car and Gia left the store with a little extra joy in her heart. A few months later, Gia went back into Sam Ash to get her guitar tuned up. When she saw Alex from across the store, she shouted out his name without a moment's hesitation. He remembered her well and came over to chat. Gia invited him to come to her show a couple days later. She wasn't sure if he would really come. He wasn't sure if she was really interested in him. But on that fateful Friday, Alex was the first person to arrive at Gia's show. She gave him the biggest hug, and from that moment on, she knew she couldn't let him go. They had their first date the following Sunday. When Alex dropped Gia off at home after their first date, a huge thunderclap roared across the sky. And the rest is history.
