Was it the time they helped their friend move down the street in the Bronx? Or the time Alex played Christina guitar? Or the time they talked about their music taste at senior night? Whichever it was, they couldn't seem to shake each other. Their fate was sealed when Christina then agreed to join Alex and his friends for poker night at their Bronx apartment in March 2018. Shortly after, they spent hours talking over spring break of senior year during college, despite the time difference from New Jersey to Morocco. They met each other's parents at graduation a few short months later and the rest is history - they've lived in three apartments spanning three states after graduating, and have witnessed each other's accomplishments through medical school, graduate school, and the start of residency. Alex proposed on vacation in Montreal almost exactly six years after starting dating, on March 16th in the botanical gardens, a nod to the NY botanical gardens where they visited after first meeting in college. Christina and Alex can't wait to get married and celebrate with their closest family and friends.
