Alex and Jenna first met at a house party, but didn't reconnect until years later in 2018. For their first date, Alex picked Jenna up from the Chi O house around 5 for "a quick drink" at Ray's Place...and they didn't realize that they had been talking for hours until the kitchen closed. They knew this was something special, and even though Jenna was leaving to spend a semester in Washington, D.C. and Alex was about to graduate and leave Kent, they decided to give long distance a shot. A year later, they'd had enough of being apart, and Alex and Jenna got their first apartment together in Columbus for Jenna to go to law school. Even though Alex can't bring himself to be an Ohio State fan, they fell in love with Columbus and that first tiny apartment. Now they've moved north to Akron, and are closer to family (and the Cleveland Guardians). On December 28, 2023, Alex and Jenna were celebrating their 5-year anniversary in Cancun when Alex scheduled a photoshoot as a "gift for us both." He surprised her by proposing, and she surprised nobody by saying yes.
