During a typical beautiful Minneapolis summer day, Alex invited a few friends over to the pool for a bottle of rose (or several). When some guy showed up with a couple of those friends, she immediately wanted to know who he was. After a full day of swimming, drinking, and snacking, they exchanged numbers on the roof of Uptown Tavern before going their separate ways. When Adam texted her a few days later asking if she wanted to rock climb followed by drinks for a first date, Alex responded "Drinks would be great!" and the rest was history.
