Allison and Alex were introduced by the father of one of their own mutual friends at a party.  He  jokingly encouraged Allison by nudging her arm, pointing at Alex, and saying “He’s a teacher”.  His matchmaking skills were clearly on point and soon after Alex and Allison were inseparable.    Allison and Alex got married […]
