We met one summer day in 2017. We made eye contact across the room, and then did not speak to each other for months until I ran into a door and Alex happened to be on the other side of that door. I was embarrassed of course, and Alex being the great empath that he is told me to "watch it" - and the rest is history. Long story short we met at work, fell in love, started dating, and grew a life together one day at a time. Through graduations, new jobs, moves, a pandemic, adopting a dog, and being stuck in a two person kayak in the ocean during a thunder and lightning storm (classic), we have only grown stronger by the day and more in love by the minute. On January 13 in Rosemary Beach, Florida - a day before our fifth anniversary - we walked down to the beach with my best friend and her boyfriend and Alex proposed. I cried so hard I forgot to say yes at first, but of course I eventually did say yes. We are each other's best friend and we can't wait to celebrate our special day with our other, lesser friends (jk, love you all) and family. xx, Molly
