In 2020, Alex and Khailee were preparing to begin law school and new lives in DC in the middle of the COVID-19 pandemic. Both had separate careers before deciding to go to law school and quickly bonded over their time in Georgia. Alex asked Khailee to join his study group, and they got to know each other better in between studying for Torts and CivPro. After a bout of COVID kept the rest of the study group at home, Khailee and Alex spent more time with each other and decided to go out for a date. Four years and two completed JDs later, Alex asked Khailee to marry him at the waterfront in Old Town Alexandria. She said yes!
