Alex and Jen worked together for some time before they were assigned to share an admission hallway on an overnight shift. That night, they made grilled cheeses for the entire building while talking about music, their dreams, and what they were hoping to do with their lives. Shortly after, they went on their first date at the Barlow Planetarium, followed by drinks at Dr. Jekyll's bar, and dinner at Olde Town Pub where Alex showed Jen how to play cribbage (and she beat him on her first try!). Together, they have since seen many shows, taken many trips, and adopted their dog, Louie. They became engaged at sunrise at Newport Beach in Door County on October 22, 2023, and are so excited to begin their forever chapter!
