Alex and Shelly met each other in 2018 for a brief time when Shelly visited Dallas, TX for the first time ever. In their time of meeting each other, they barely spoke. Shelly was familiar with Alex’s friends and had known them for a long time. They heard about each other in conversation with other friends but never formally met until 2018. Shelly returned back to New Jersey, and they both went about their lives advancing in the preaching and teaching work. Shelly was supposed to return to Dallas in 2020 but because of the pandemic, she never made it back. Until… Alex and Shelly had a random conversation on Instagram not knowing that that conversation would start the beginning of their ‘Love Story’. Alex and Shelly automatically clicked. They love the same music, taste in food, love traveling, have the same spiritual goals to be in the full-time work, and are both family-oriented. Although they were over 1,000 miles away from each other, Shelly and Alex found ways to see each other every month. On February 12, 2022, Alex asked Shelly if she would marry him. And she said, YES!!! ❤️💍
