It All Started At The Diner

This story has been told for over a decade now, and we can all agree that Alex's version is the better one. Alex and Jake met at the Broadway Diner during their winter break in 2014. Alex, who had been called into her hostess job last minute, was wrapping up her shift when Jake walked in. Jake told Alex that he would need a table for fifteen, and she quickly moved some tables to accommodate the party. The story goes that Alex kept eyeing Jake, feeling a strange magnetic pull. She had seen many men walk through the diner doors, but this felt different. She proceeded to ask everyone working that night—including the cooks—if they also thought this was the most handsome man they'd ever seen. They agreed that he was good-looking, but none could quite match what she was feeling. As she was about to head out for the night and wave her 15-minute crush goodbye, one of her friends from the next town over walked in, along with the rest of the fifteen-person party. Alex greeted her friend, formally introduced herself to the table, and said her goodbyes. As soon as she stepped outside, she pulled out her iPhone 7 and texted her friend to share that Jake was extremely handsome and that she was very much single. Her friend confirmed that Jake felt the same way about her and was indeed available. The two quickly exchanged numbers and soon became deeply embedded in each other's worlds, thinking it would be an exciting end to their senior year of high school. Little did they know that twelve years later, they would be tying the knot.
