Our Story
Alex and Ali met almost 12 years ago. While it was not love at first sight... it was actually the opposite. Alex met Ali the day he came to work at Jersey Mikes and she had the task to show him around. Ali wasn't so great at taking directions (oldest of 3 siblings) and Alex, while meaning well, was a little bossy (only child). They were stuck working many shifts together and over doing dishes, Alex getting help on her math HW, and Ali getting advice on his love life...they finally became close friends. Fast forward to the Spring of 2014, when they were both getting ready to leave Jersey Mikes...Ali and Alex sat on a bench in front of the sandwich shop and he asked her to be his girlfriend. Fast forward again, almost 10 years later...this past summer of 2023, Ali (with some incredible helpers) got that very bench into their little apartment and got down on one knee and proposed. They have shared the special experience of growing up together, and in that process, growing with each other. Today, the high school health teacher and the football coach (Ali is the football coach) live together with their perfect angel of a cat, Juno, and continue to plan for the future and their next chapter. Alex and Ali are looking forward to continuing their love story and joining in marriage. They can't wait to celebrate their journey and their future with their loved ones on November 9, 2024.
