Michael and Alexis met on the first day of pre-K. She bit his ankle on the playground, he proposed to her with a ring pop in elementary school, and the rest is sort of history. Alexis kept him in school by organizing all his papers and making sure he had a pencil for class, and he repaid her by throwing chocolate wrappers at her and breaking her borrowed pencils. In March of their senior year (2020), they started dating. Their families have always been close, even going so far as being nicknamed by the parents: the BurHaases. After this year, Alexis will become the only true BurHaas. 18 years, 4 years of long distance at separate colleges, and a global pandemic later, they can't wait to finally start their lives together in October 2024.
