Our story dates back to June of 2022 when Ciara took a trip to Europe with her best friend and MOH, Maddy, and met Alfie at The Alchemist in London. That's the story Ciara tells everyone.... The REAL story is Ciara created a Tinder account and changed her location to England about a month before her trip. She stumbled upon Alfie, and Alfie stumbled upon Ciara. We were chatting for a few weeks before spending the 2 days Ciara was in England together. 48 hours later and although we enjoyed our time together, we thought we'd never see one another again. Thankfully, modern technology allowed us to stay in touch for the next month or so. There were countless text messages and even more FaceTimes, but Alfie finally bought a flight to NC where Ciara was starting her first travel nurse assignment and it's like they picked up right where they left off. Most couples can't say they technically moved in together before their first date..... but, here we are.
