Not one to normally say anything in a group text, Alex stated "I agree" after a friend (Scott) commented, "she's hot" when he saw a picture of Richelle sent to the group by Richelle's cousin, Tiana. This led Tiana to the genius idea that, although the two lived a continent apart, they should meet! So after much persuasion on her part the two met up on a blind date at Richelle's Disney World hotel where she was vacationing with her kids. Alex states he fell in love with Richelle that very night, while Richelle took a little longer to figure it out. Daily texts turned into daily FaceTime and phone calls and finally a visit to Alaska by Alex in December where he confessed his love and Richelle, in turn, confessed hers!
