One Love, One Lifetime

Tiffany & Alex: 11 Years and Counting The Math Class Days Tiffany and Alex met in middle school and became very close friends. In ninth grade, they had math class together where Tiffany was the loud one and Alex was the quiet one. Tiffany would even sing "Alex Roman-ello, ello, ello, ay, ay, ay" referring to the song Under My Umbrella. At Tiffany's Sweet 16, Alex even got a candle for being one of her closest friends. Over the next few years, they drifted apart due to not having the same classes—but senior year, they had math together again! The Never-Ending Conversation At a football party, they got each other's phone numbers again. They started texting constantly and have been texting constantly for 11 years straight-using those same numbers where they continue to talk today. They were just really good friends, but over time they both started to like each other. Their friends would say that they both liked each other and they would deny it because they had a great friend relationship. Alex even helped Tiffany pick out her first car. The Moment She Knew The feelings were there early on, and Tiffany knew it was love before they were ever official. She remembers the exact moment: she had gotten home from a party and did not have a charger, so Alex offered to drive to her house and drop one off just so they can continue talking. They met in the driveway and Alex got out of his car and handed Tiffany the charger. He just pressed his fingers under her chin, smiled & their eyes locked. Tiffany walked back inside the house, leaned against the door and just said to herself, "Wow, I am in love with him." In January, Alex surprised Tiffany with flowers on the beach that said "PROM." On the car ride from the beach, the song "I Think I’m in Love," was playing and Alex had no idea that when she sang it, the words rang true. The Text That Changed Everything On March 7, 2015, Tiffany and Alex were texting and Alex sent a text that officially changed the rest of their lives. In the text, Alex wrote how he likes her. Tiffany took a long time to respond, which made Alex very nervous, but she was ecstatic sending the message to her best friend. Tiffany invited Alex over that night and they shared their first kiss. The Beach Walk On May 8, 2015, they went on a walk at Gardiner's Park with Daytona and sat on the beach where Alex finally asked Tiffany to be his girlfriend. They were always with each other, but their first official date was to go see the live-action Cinderella. The Princess has finally found her prince. Their Greatest Adventure In October 2024, they went on the greatest adventure traveling around Iceland together. They were driving to their next hotel and drove by this beautiful waterfall that was not on their itinerary. They pulled over and walked to the waterfall. It was just Tiffany, Alex & the Icelandic beauty, when Alex got down on his knee to ask Tiffany to marry him. Aquamarine is Alex's birthstone, meaning eternal love and to protect sailors out at sea. It’s not just a ring, but a symbol of their love—a love as endless as the ocean and as timeless as the tides. Tiffany and Alex went through prom together, both graduations, college, long distance, and figuring out what they wanted to do in life. In a world full of unknown and chaos, they have always had each other. Home Today, they live in their dream apartment with their dogs, Daytona and Sanibel, and their snake, Pretzel. The apartment is their home right now, filled with endless love and laughter—their favorite place to be. Alex works two weeks away, but when he comes home and walks through the front door, it is the same feeling someone gets on Christmas morning. Having someone so special to miss and welcome back is a true gift. The Next Chapter Our Wedding- the beginning of our forever. From middle schoolers to husband and wife. From best friends to soulmates. There is no world without each other. Just two souls as one- always & forever.
