From Alyx's Perspective: In August 2016, I decided to volunteer at a legal aid clinic. I hadn't even started law school yet, but I thought this would be a good way to learn my way around the school. Little did I know, I would meet my husband! It was my first time doing anything remotely legal, and I kept getting distracted by this cute guy (Matt) staring at me. From there, I would see Matt everywhere. He started sitting around the table I would study at in the library. And a couple weeks later, he finally asked me out. I was completely smitten after our first date, and am so lucky to have my Matthew. From Matt's Perspective: "love in a hopeless place." Truer words were never spoken when it comes to how we met. During law school, I would volunteer a the SF Bar Association's free legal aid clinics in San Francisco's Tenderloin and Bayview neighborhoods. At an August 2016 clinic in the Tenderloin, at 8:00 am on a Saturday, I saw Alyx in her cream quarter-zip Ralph Lauren pullover with a broken zipper that she stole from her older brother, Andrei. It was definitely the most unexpected love at first sight moment of my life, and it soon led to long runs out to the Golden Gate Bridge, where I learned all about Greensboro, AL, the many ways to cook sweet potatoes (on a law school budget) and Kings of Leon. The rest is history!
