Jenn Toyzer and Alex Rothberg
They went to MIT...
And took the same classes. But they never spoke (at least Jenn doesn't remember asking Alex about pset assignments). In the summer of 2010, both moved to Manhattan's NoLita neighborhood and joined the gym that wasn't Equinox.
On the night of a storm that would become known as Snowpocalypse, only Jenn and Alex made it to the gym. He saw her, but unsure if it was the girl from school, left without saying hello. Later, with the help of Facebook triangulation, he realized it was probably her.
After an awkward Facebook exchange that spanned nearly a month, Jenn and Alex met at a horrible bar downtown (neither has been back since). The following night, fortuitous circumstances (mainly their flaky friends), allowed the two of them (along with Jenn's best friend and future bridesmaid, Katie) to have what would become their first date at the French midtown restaurant, Millesime. Jenn approved of Alex's taste in wine, so the following day they failed to watch Black Swan when Jenn's DVD player died.
Four amazing years, and countless bottles of wine later, on a beach in the Turks 'n' Caicos, Alex proposed. And Jenn said yes.
