Katherine Byram ’18 and Alec Gillan ’18

I met Alec on Feb 7, 2016, at an off-campus Super Bowl party. While we didn’t immediately start dating, our friendship took off like a rocket. From that day on I had a UCF Football partner, beer pong partner and study buddy. It took over 2 years for us to take our friendship to the next level. Everything changed when we went to the Peach Bowl game in 2018, and on April 21, 2018, during the unveiling of the National Championship banner we made our relationship official. We’ve been dating for almost 5 years, moved to LA and have 2 cats together. I have never been happier; he is truly my best friend, and I can’t imagine my life without him or UCF.
