Brandon and Alex met on Hinge in late 2021. They started as a Thanksgiving hook up (just keeping it real) and they’ve been together ever since. Alex says she knew Brandon was the one two weeks into their time together when You Send Me by Sam Cooke played on the radio and she smiled while thinking of Brandon. Brandon has brought a softness to Alex she didn’t know existed and he keeps her laughing. And to Alex’s credit, she makes Brandon tiramisu and gives him a clean and decorated home to call his own. They survived a kidney stone and a tooth pull that wouldn’t clot their first weekend living together and they’re certain they can handle anything else life will throw at them. They’ve flown to Massachusetts, driven to Kansas, attended several concerts, survived an ER trip for Brandon, a surgery for Alex, bought their first home and cultivated a beautiful life together with their three cats and one dog who is acting as ring bearer at their union. Both of them can’t wait to marry each other and continue on this journey together.
