Alana and Kristian were Sophomores in high school when the interest first began. They flirted here and there, but the high school crush fizzled out when Alana moved back to the East Coast. They each graduated from different schools, went to college, and remained friends. Both were completely unaware that their feelings for each other would be rekindled just 6 years later. In the summer of 2021, Alana moved back to the West Coast to begin her own life. She reconnected with Kristian, and the attraction between the two was undeniable. Their dating life consisted of numerous fun-filled spontaneous adventures, which they plan to continue throughout their marriage. They became the best of friends, fell deeply in love, and will now live happily ever after.
