Noelle had just moved to NYC with plans to go platinum blonde, but fate (and Lex) had other ideas. When Noelle arrived at the barbershop, her appointment seemed to be a figment of her imagination—but Lex was there to help. On a very hot August day in the East Village, as Noelle waited for the next available spot, the two couldn’t stop chatting. Hours passed, and though Lex walked Noelle out after her appointment, she didn’t ask for her number. Noelle left, texting a friend that she’d met someone special but was disappointed they didn’t exchange numbers. Lex went home and told her roommates she thought she’d just met her soulmate but had no idea who she was. A week later, the stars aligned. Noelle opened Hinge and there was Lex with her (then) blue hair. Noelle sent her a message: “Are you the Lex from the barbershop?” Lexi replied, “Omg yes, and I know exactly who you are.” Their first date was an instant hit, and not long after, they decided to move in together. They quickly built a cozy life filled with weekend trips to visit family in Jersey or Upstate with friends, frequenting dive bars in East Williamsburg to play pool, and hanging with their two spoiled cats, Sammy Sweatheart & Pauly D, and Dante, their tiny min pin rescue. Four years later, we’re here to celebrate the next chapter of their love story as they get married!
