We met on Hinge, and our first date was at LTS Brewery. It was casual and fun, but it was our second date that almost ended it all. Alex couldn’t resist bragging about his darts stats, and Julia wasn’t sure about the chemistry, so she tried to call it quits. Luckily, Alex wasn’t ready to give up and convinced Julia to give him a third chance. That was the turning point, and the rest, as they say, is history. For the first two years, Julia’s friends dubbed Alex "third date guy," but here we are, three years later, stronger than ever. Along the way, we brought home our first puppy, Rudy, and found joy in the little things—like watching trashy reality shows and HGTV together, exploring local breweries, and enjoying Julia's famous cookies. We couldn't be happier to start this new chapter together. Here’s to a lifetime of dates, adventures, and cookies!
