Alec and Augusta first met at Colgate University on an unseasonably warm March day. They spent the day listening to a mix of 90s buzz ballads, including Lifehouse and Gavin Degraw. At night, Alec and Augusta decided to go star gazing, although the cloudy, rainy weather made this challenging. Over the next few weeks, Alec and Augusta went on a number of dates, including Augusta co-hosting Alec's primetime 1 AM country music radio show. All 2 listeners (thanks Bill and Kathy Miller!) were treated to Alec and Augusta's "beautiful" renditions of popular country songs. Fast forward a little over a year and Augusta and Alec had both moved to New York City. In November 2014, they moved into a quaint 350 square foot apartment in the Hell's Kitchen neighborhood of Manhattan. In November 2017, Alec asked Augusta to marry him at 7:30 in the morning as they sipped their morning coffee and watched their favorite television show, How I Met Your Mother. They currently live in Williamsburg, Brooklyn with their cat, Pickles.
