Alex left Florida and moved to NYC in 2019. Marco moved back to New York from California in 2020. They never crossed paths until their mutual friend, Kendra, got involved. In January 2022, while Alex was in Boston visiting Kendra, Kendra posted a picture on Instagram of the two of them. Marco commented on Kendra's post directly to Alex, saying simply "hey." He also texted Kendra asking about Alex. Four months passed without any contact. Then, in April of 2022, Kendra came to NYC for a visit. Alex was in her last semester of her LLM program at the time and was in the middle of finals. But Kendra insisted that Alex should come out for a drink to meet Marco because she thought they would be a good fit. Alex reluctantly obliged and tagged along with Kendra to meet her friends, including Marco. As you may expect, that one drink turned into a night bopping around the East Village with the group and Marco and Alex have been together ever since. THANK YOU KENDRA!
