We met the modern way—thanks to a well-timed Tinder super-like. Alexis was at her brother and sister-in-law’s house when Brandon’s profile popped up, and one swipe later, everything quietly shifted. We messaged for a few weeks before Alexis finally handed over her phone number (she will happily admit she’s terrible at daily app replies). Brandon asked Alexis to the Fairport Canal Festival for our first date. We met at Perinton Park, the same place Brandon would propose two years later. That day was effortless. We wandered, talked for hours about, laughed nonstop, and stayed together so long that Alexis ended up late to her own birthday celebration—sorry, Mom and Dad.
