This story does not follow the typical “boy meets girl” storyline. After meeting at work in 2016, they kept each other sane in a stressful work environment, and became fast friends. Over the years they bonded and supported each other through some major life changes. In 2019, Alex suggested that they take a chance and see if their friendship could be more. He was right (apparently no one was surprised when they got together). Alex has become a wonderful support and step-father to Allie’s daughter Naomi, and their home is full of music and play. This wedding is not just about the couple, it is a celebration of their family with Naomi, and moving forward in life together.
