First, let's talk about how this all began. Noel and Alex were introduced to each other by Noel's good friend Liz. After a few conversations via text messages they decided to go on a double date with the one that introduced them. Noel was very nervous and Alex was very late (two hours late to be specific) because of a train derailment. There was instantly a strong connection that was strengthened during the next few months. When Alex got a promotion and had to move to a new state, they chose to continue to date. Between facetime calls and monthly visits, their love for each other grew. When Noel visited Seattle for the first time, Alex had a big surprise planned for her. What she thought was a walk at Alki Beach to place a lock that represents their love on a fence; was actually Alex getting on one knee to ask the big question. The first words out of Noel's mouth were "are you kidding me?" which were quickly replaced by a "yes!". Now they have a few months to plan their big day. They can't wait to celebrate with their friends and family!
