Our story begins in 2022, when fate brought us together on Hinge. Alec, an engineer who was originally from Illinois and who had recently moved from Texas to California for a new job, was navigating the world of dating apps. Megan, an elementary school teacher, who had grown up in California, captured the eye of Alec when she asked him the simple question "Was it worth it?" regarding his move. After a few conversations on Hinge, they quickly realized they shared so much in common. Alec’s intellect and thoughtful nature caught Megan’s attention, while Megan’s kindness and passion for her students captured Alec’s heart. They spent hours chatting and getting to know each other, and their first date felt like it had been years in the making. From that moment on, their connection grew stronger with each passing day. Whether it was talking about favorite hobbies, sharing stories about their careers, or enjoying simple nights in, Megan and Alec knew they had found something special. And now, here they are, excited to say that it indeed was worth it.
