My friend from college (Jake) is married to Elizabeth's childhood friend (Emily) of more than 20 years. In the Summer of 2023, Jake and Emily moved next door to me and almost immediately started telling me about Elizabeth who was coming to visit in a couple of months, and they wanted us to meet. As promised, Elizabeth showed up one weekend and we got to know each other over Taqueria Tsunami and axe throwing. I wowed her with my charm and pinpoint accuracy, and she captivated me with her beauty and baseball knowledge. She went home at the end of the weekend, but we stayed in touch and started dating a few weeks later despite her living in Lakeland, Florida and me in Athens. Despite the distance, we made it work, facetiming each night and traveling to see each other every couple of weeks. In March 2024, Elizabeth moved to Athens and for the first time in our relationship, we were dating and living in the same city. Fast forward to December 2024, I asked Elizabeth to be my wife and (thankfully) she said yes! - Alex
