Our first and only official pre-pandemic date
March 11, 2020
Aleks called Annie’s bluff when she told him that she would be down to meet the very same day they started chatting. They met up at Mr. Tipples, a jazz bar, and he graciously offered to walk her home afterwards, which to his surprise was a mere 328 ft. They started their adventure just like any other couple falling in love, through a global pandemic.
Romantic Roommates
May 7, 2021
Aleks wanted to be Annie’s roommate for some time. After she accepted, they found their first home that checked most of their boxes. It is close to Korean & Japanese stores and most of all, came with a parking spot.
We got engaged!
October 7, 2022
What a day. Aleks planned for months to ask the big question. Even though Annie suspected it for her birthday trip, he was able to convince her that wasn’t the case. So, Annie was legit surprised in the middle of serious touristing.
