Alex and Caiti were both in the Kent State Marching band. The football team made it to the Go Daddy bowl and even though they marched next to each other all season, they never met till they got to the hotel in Alabama. Caiti's best friend invited her to come hang out with her boyfriend who just so happened to be rooming with Alex. They played video games together, exchanged numbers and as soon as winter break was over they went on their first date.
