Alex and Rob matched on the Bumble dating app back in May of 2016. After many weeks of trying to coordinate around Rob's summer golf and hockey schedules (which meant he was free 2 nights of the week ;) ), they finally met for a drink at Saloon bar in Somerville. Rob thought Alex stood him up, but really she just went into the wrong entrance. Once Rob tracked her down, they had a great evening filled with easy-flowing conversation and Rob going outside of his comfort zone and ordering non-Bud Light beers (the bar didn't serve Bud Light.. Alex didn't realize the mistake she made in choosing that location until a little later on into dating). Rob was so nervous (probably because he didn't know what to order other than Bud Light) that he couldn't stop rubbing his hands on his pants. Alex was a little thrown off by this nervous tick and debated whether or not she should go on date #2. Luckily she did and the rest was history. After 5 years of dating that included 2 different apartments, buying their first house, 2 MBA degrees (including the stressful application process), and countless great memories, Rob got down on one knee and asked Alex to marry him. She said YES!
