In August 2020, ASM was sailing on a boat that started sinking, so he got off in Corsica and decided to stop in Nice to see the beginning of the Tour de France. At the same time, AMR was in Nice to start her master's program in the middle of COVID. On August 29, ASM downloaded Tinder for the first time and the two Alexes decided to meet at the beach the next day. The two met up at a bar next to Nice Promenade, where AMR ordered a beer to impress him! They spent every hour together until ASM had an afternoon flight the next day back to England. The next weekend, ASM booked a £5 flight back to Nice to see AMR when all of their stuff was stolen off the beach. The weekend turned into a week, where they met each other's families over Zoom and Alex & Alex asked for grocery money! After months of visiting back and forth, AMR chose a master's thesis placement in Plymouth, England where the two could live together without any flight travel. They loved visiting the Michaels family on weekends and walking Ozzy in Beaumont Park. Plymouth was amazing, but they talked about going somewhere warmer... AMR got her dream job in Bermuda in February 2023. AMR and ASM have spent the last two years walking to Whalebone Bay after work and swimming at Cooper's Island on weekends. They love hosting visitors and showing them the island. On October 11, 2024, the Alexes took their usual after-work walk, and sat on a picnic bench where they decided to spend the rest of their lives together! After the best cheesecake (Port-O-Call for all future visitors) ASM's surprise visitors arrived to celebrate the engagement in Bermuda! An engagement is perfect with the one you love, and what makes it even sweeter is to get to freak out and celebrate with your best friends. ASM swiped right for the first and last time over four years ago, and we are so excited to now share our forever with you at our weekend in Maine.
