Alex asked Liz to play in a volleyball tournament with him. She thought he was mysterious, and he thought she was "charmy". One tournament led to another, and before she knew it she was stuck with him as a partner. One small blip later...(a two year long-distance relationship while Alex was in Australia), and they got engaged in France right before Covid-19! Now they're settled in Seattle with a new home, new jobs, and two new kitties!
