Alex and Anna met working in the kitchen at The American Inn in Southwick. They worked together as "just friends" for years. Anna regularly asked her best friend, "I burnt my finger and he gave me frozen peas... what does it mean???" One fateful evening, Alex rescued Anna from a terrible night of hanging out with work friends and asked to take her on a real date next time. After that first date of snacking on gummy snakes and listening to Mr. Brightside on repeat, it was clear that this relationship could be something special. Alex officially asked Anna to be his girlfriend on November 29th in the Holyoke Mall parking lot over cups of boba tea. After a short time together, during a conversation about the future, Alex warned Anna "I only date to marry" to which Anna replied "we'll see." Guess Alex was right about that one! And that brings us to today, one year engaged, four years together, and very much looking forward to everything that the future will bring.
