(cough cough *Keith Morrison voice*) "Ahhhhh. Two Nashville natives finding true love? It all started in Gulf Shores, Alabama at a beach house rented by friends. Yes, it was going to be a very fun weekend for a music festival...or was it?" Liz would attend Hangout Music Festival each year with the same group of friends. In 2018, she saw someone she didn't know on the facebook invite- Alex Bottiggi. She didn't recognize who that was and never heard anyone mention him. She did frequently hear her best friend, Samantha Doust, speak of Bodie who would be coming with us this year. Alex didn't know Liz, either- which seems like an epic breakdown from Samantha. The two arrived to the beach house separately and connected immediately. It's rare that another person so quickly understands Liz's personality, as her sarcasm and dark humor isn't for everyone. From that day on, Liz and Alex were inseparable and had the best weekend ever. Liz went back to Montana where she was travel nursing, but knew she was about to be moving back home for some dumb boy she met at a music festival. Alex was miserable in Nashville and was elated when Liz invited him to Katherine Saxon's wedding in Knoxville that summer. By the end of the summer, Liz had moved home and Alex graciously incorporated her into his life. The rest is history!
