Liz was walking back from class at Slippery Rock during a snow storm. As she made her way to the university quad, she happened to fall and eat shit. She spilled her books all over the ground. Alex came right away to help her gather her things and help her up. Liz was wearing a white coat at the time. She later received a tweet from SRU Crush's saying "to the girl in the white coat who ate shit, you're really cute". Liz liked the message and six years later they're getting married.
