It all started in January 2019 during drill, that was the first time I saw Alex and thought how handsome he was... Until he spoke to me. Alex and his friend teased me for months because I attended a Sergeants meeting when I was lower ranking at the time (my leaders made me attend). Fast forward a couple months later I was promoted to Sergeant and Alex was FINALLY nice to me. We had normal conversations, none that involved me wanting to smack Alex for being annoyingly mean. During our drill in July, Alex's friend Leon invited me to Hooters for a going away dinner for another close Sergeant of ours. During dinner Alex mentioned how he was single (that's when I knew I had to shoot my shot). I asked Alex for his phone number so I can send him money through Zelle to pay my half for dinner. Well the sarcastic Alex himself replies in front of EVERYONE, "If you wanted my number, you could have just asked". Later that night I friend requested Alex on Instagram and he Direct messaged me. Five days later I invited Alex to a Miranda Lambert concert since I had an extra ticket, he said yes and drove 3 hours to accompany me. I invited him to another concert 3 days later and the day before the concert he asked me to be his girl friend. In a month, we traveled together attended a bunch of concerts and moved in together. On 15 September 2019, Alex asked me to marry him. Four days later, 19 September 2019, we ELOPED!! But now we want to say our vows with all of our closest friends and family.
