Nowadays, meeting their forever partner in a bar seems to be unusual, but that’s the story of how they met. It was one serendipitous night at the Great American Pub in Conshohocken and the 76ers were playing the Miami Heat to get into the Eastern Conference Finals back in 2022.

That’s when Kristen and her friend Gabby entered the bar. After a briefly awkward introduction and a few shots, the conversation never stopped. After hours of talking about each of their life adventures, their shared love for sharks and cutesy laughs, they were intertwined. Before the lovebirds knew it, the bar was closing for the night. The next week, they went on their first date to Cantina Feliz in Fairmount. A month later on May 17th, they were an official couple! Four years later, Alex wanted plan the perfect moment to propose. After five long months of secretly planning and hiding the ring. The nervous and excited Alex finally proposed at The Willows in Villanova in March of 2025. After what felt like a lifetime for Alex as he was on one knee, Kristen ecstatically said “yes” to her forever best friend.
