Every good story has an unforgettable opening scene, and ours began on a freezing January evening with a simple swipe that turned into something much more. What started on Hinge quickly became a night filled with arcade lights, laughter, and the kind of easy conversation that makes time feel like it’s slipping by too fast. Their first date took place at UpDown, where classic games set the stage—and Alexa made one thing very clear early on: she absolutely dominates at Ms. Pac-Man. Between high scores and shared smiles, it didn’t take long to realize this was more than just a chance meeting. It was the start of something special. Together, Alexa and Aaron are a perfect blend of story and screen—she’s drawn to the magic of books, he to the worlds of movies and video games, and both share a love for the drama and romance of the stage. A little nerdy, endlessly curious, and always ready for the next adventure, they’ve been writing their story together ever since that first night—one chapter, one scene, and one game at a time.
