Alex and Alaina met two years ago on a blind date set up by a mutual friend, who thought, rightly so, that they would hit it off pretty well. After several more dates in the summertime, they decided to make things official before Alaina moved back to Cookeville to finish out her Bachelor's Degree, as Alex finished his at the University of Tennessee. The first year of their relationship was spent on the phone and in travel, as Alex made the hour and a half trip to Cookeville every weekend to see her. After graduation in May, Alaina moved back to Knoxville and they've been enjoying life together in Knoxville ever since (and Alex saves a lot more money on gas!).
