John and Alisha met on October 10th, 2016 at a restaurant in Los Angeles while having dinner with a mutual friend. It might have just been an ordinary chance meeting if John and Alisha hadn't crossed paths again at a party a few months later. When John overheard Alisha talking about The Adventure Zone, a Dungeons and Dragons podcast, he connected with Alisha on Facebook. The two began talking and eventually went to another mutual friend's birthday party together. They talked all night and didn't even notice when the entire party went outside to leave them alone. They went on their first real date two days later and have been inseparable ever since.
