It all started on a cold, foggy Saturday night in Charlotte, NC on October 1, 2023. We were both out with friends that night—Alexis celebrating a birthday, and Josh, convinced he was done with dating for good. Somehow, we ended up in the same place, where we spent what felt like forever just looking at each other… without either of us making a move. Eventually, Alexis decided she wasn’t going to wait any longer. On her way out, she walked right past Josh and called him out for staring all night without saying hello. Caught off guard, Josh asked for her number—but instead of giving it to him, Alexis said, “I’m going to another spot… you can come if you want,” and walked away. Not wanting to miss his chance, Josh ran through the cold night to find her. When he finally made it, the place was packed, and for a moment it seemed like he had missed her—but then he saw her. This time, he didn’t hesitate. Even knowing Alexis lived in Raleigh and Josh lived in Charlotte, it didn’t matter. From that moment on, everything changed. What started as a chance encounter quickly turned into something neither of us expected—but something we both knew was real from the very beginning. It was love at first sight… and the start of our forever 🤍
