Alex was spending the week with Jami when she "met" Tom. While drinking wine on her couch, Alex was scrolling through dating apps looking at "prospective" suiters. At the time, she wasn't looking for anything serious. When she matched with Tom, he instantly sent her a message that said "I don't want more kids, I don't want to get married. If either of those things is an issue for you, let me know." After their second date, which was the day after their first date, Tom knew Alex was "the one."

"Officially," Tom asked Alex one morning while they were getting the kids ready for school. No makeup, morning breath, and probably some yelling for the kids to hurry up and eat were involved. Tom says he knew Alex was the one and didn't want her to get away. It wasn't how he wanted it to go, but it felt right at the moment. Later, they took a trip to New York so that Tom could customize Alex's ring (he knew exactly what he wanted to get her) and propose to her in her favorite place in the world. New York. They spent the evening in the city and Tom got down on one knee in front of the Empire State Building and asked Alex to be his wife. We'll see you in New Orleans!
