How We Met

12.19.14 ~ The First Kiss

Our love story began like so many others before us... at work. We bonded over putting out expensive timepieces and antiques at Ralph Lauren during the mornings before the store opened. One night, while out with friends, we found ourselves dancing to 80s songs (discovering our mutual love for Prince) in the basement of The Hangge Up (classy... we know). That was when we had our first kiss. We have basically been together ever since.

The Proposal

12.24.18

On Christmas Eve, we were running late to the party. We were both scrambling to get ready, and Alexa, always being a fashionista, decided to change her clothes. She was in the bedroom changing when Brandon asked her if she could do him a favor. She hobbled out of the bedroom with her pants half-way down only to see Brandon on one knee asking if she would make him the happiest man on earth and spend the rest of her life with him. It was an automatic "YES" and the perfect proposal; intimate, personal, and unexpected.
