Alexa often goes wine tasting with her family and friends, so when her sister-in-law, Sonia, suggested a trip to Toca Madera Winery on Saturday, August 28, 2021, she did not think twice of any ulterior motive. A few days before the weekend, Sonia asked if everyone wanted to bring along their significant others. Gabe had never gone wine tasting before, so he enthusiastically accepted. Their group sipped wine inside for about an hour before making their way to the outside terrace for some pictures on a beautiful, sunny afternoon. As Alexa and Gabe snapped a few couple photos, he started to back away placing one knee on the ground and stating, "Alexa Nicole Perricone. I love you with all my heart, will you marry me?" Backing up in shock, Alexa said "Yes! Are you kidding me? Yes!" Surrounded by friends and family who had spent weeks keeping the secret, the proposal was over. After some more engagement photos taken by Alexa's brother, Ryan, Alexa and Gabe shared in their excitement over a picnic set up by their friends Tasha and Kendra. August 28, 2021 will always have a special place in their heart.
