We met in one of Alex’s favorite places — Long Island, New York — while attending Stony Brook University. We both joined the Ultimate Frisbee team, and our first real conversation sparked at a post-tournament party when Jump by Van Halen came on. Once we started talking, we quickly bonded over sports, shared values, and a sense of humor that felt effortless. Our first date, unexpectedly, included going to church. But that day marked the start of something lasting. From New York to Ohio to Worcester, we've built a life together rooted in trust, laughter, and late-night cat cuddles. No matter the distance, we've always found our way back to each other and now, wherever we are, we know we're home.
