In January 2015, Alec and Trisha were both accepted into the Riverside Culinary Academy where they first met and when they did they quickly discovered their similarities in many aspects of their lives. Seeing each other Monday through Friday at school and making time for each other after work, they quickly became inseparable. From weekly Disneyland trips to cooking dinner for each others family at least once a week, they grew very close. Julian was the first trip they made together, camping, just the two of them a few months after first dating. Then each year they went on trips from San Fransisco, dining at Michelin Starred restaurants, to falling in love with the smoke filled casinos in Las Vegas and traveling across the Atlantic to discover culture and cuisine in Italy. Alec and Trisha are no short of being best friends and lovers. In 2018 they moved to north county San Diego and expanded their duo to three. They rescued Ginger, their very spoiled English Bulldog. Once the pandemic hit, losing both their jobs and their careers were put on the back burner, they focused on each other. They wanted more love in their lives through the rough times and added another four legged friend to the bunch, Chip, their French Bulldog. And in June 2020, Alec popped the question while dancing next to the fire, under the stars listening to their favorite song... She said yes!
