While it's no surprise that both Alex and Brittany went to OU, their story is quite the opposite. Brittany met Alex when their friends Katie and Kerry started dating -- who are now married! And although Brittany and Alex had their hearts elsewhere at the time, Alex secretly had a crush on Brittany. She was a bartender at a bar called Broney's at OU, and Alex would come visit her with Kerry... even though Brittany's drinks were absolutely HORRENDOUS. Let's just say, she was not made out to be a bartender but at least Alex supported her while choking back drinks. Eventually, Alex would go on to tell Kerry that he wanted to marry Brittany one day... and he told this to Kerry in the same spot at OU where Alex eventually proposed. While Alex knew he and Brittany would eventually be together forever, Brittany had other plans and moved to Richmond for grad school. Once grad school was over, Brittany moved to Columbus -- the same city Alex was living at the time. Before she even moved, he texted her offering up his big manly truck to help her move... and she graciously declined. But winners don't quit, and Alex eventually landed a date with Brittany (yay!!!). The rest is history, and their marriage is only the beginning of their journey :)
