May 2016, Geraldine had just graduated from College in South Carolina and Alec and his family go on a annual family trip to Myrtle beach. Geraldine's good friend Daniela (who went to high school with Alec and his friends) introduced them and they had a fun couple of days before Alec and his family headed back to Northern Virginia. Alec asked Geraldine out on his last night in South Carolina; to find out that Geraldine was moving back to Maryland and they would be about 45 minutes away. Later that Summer Alec came down to myrtle beach to visit Geraldine and asked her to be his girlfriend and the rest was history.
