Fresh star stories with a cool online feel.

When we spoke to the new Mrs. Mauricio Scott, aka Alex Scott, or just plain "Alex," which she told The List is what everyone calls her, one of the first things we had to know was how she met, fell in love with, and ultimately knew that Mauricio was the one. Fortunately, Alex was game to take that nostalgic walk down memory lane — which, by the way, is a long walk, relatively speaking, going back, as it does, to when the now-24-year-old was just 19. 

"[Mauricio and I] started dating our sophomore year of college," Alex Drummond revealed to The List. "I feel like –- honestly, this is cheesy — but I feel like from when we first started dating, I was like, 'I could really see myself being with this guy for a really long time.'" Three years later, when the two graduated from Texas A&M, they made the very grown-up decision to start their life together in Dallas. "I feel like that was when we started doing real life together. We weren't just in this college bubble anymore. We were going to work, and living more of a real adult life." And guess what? Their relationship "flourished," which pretty much cemented in Alex's mind that she knew this relationship was a keeper. But what happened next is what made it undeniable.
