You all remember MySpace, right? Well, one night Alicia was bored at college and searched online people nearby and Paul popped up! She quickly scrolled through his photo albums and noted he enjoyed cars (she does, too!) so she decided to send him a message. The rest is history!
We took a trip to Los Angeles for the Linkin Park and Friends concert, both of us having been long-time Linkin Park fans and grief-stricken when their lead singer, Chester Bennington, died. During their iconic song, "In The End," Paul wedged himself between the plastic chairs and showed Alicia a ring. She didn't see the ring, didn't hear any of what he said, just simply cried and said "you're so lame." Boy, isn't she romantic!
