Alexis was walking home from church on campus one day when she ran into a group at BYU called the "Lonely Boys." They were hosting an "Epic Date Lottery" and Alexis, having just recently resolved to try things out of her comfort zone, consented to participate. Part of the date process was to submit questions to your blind date, and then you would at the large group date, have to figure out who your date was. As the date was approaching, Alexis almost backed out until two things happened. First, one of her friends figured out through some cell phone sleuthing who her date was and sent Alexis the photo of Danny. Which she promptly shared with her mom along with the comment, "Isn't he so attractive?" Second, her date passed along the questions that he was going to answer and she felt it was too late to back out at that point despite the nerves coming on strong. The first date went so well and Danny knew there was something different about Alexis. Alexis knew there was something different about Danny, and that became the first of many dates.
