John was working in the bakery and Alexis was working in the meat department and that began the workplace romance. Even though jobs have changed and we have grown, the romance and love is still there.

Alexis had shown me a ring back in November of 2018 so ever since then I had secretly been saving money to aford the ring. In June, I had finally had enough money and ordered the ring. I got some help from my brother with a cover story to pick up the ring on July 3. On July 4, I nervously went over and asked her parents permission to marry Alexis. It was our 2 year aniversary she had no idea I had the ring. We wanted to go hiking and then copy our first date by going to Denny’s and then to a Spider-Man movie. We decided to go hiking up at Silver Falls State Park and the Ten Falls Loop. I had the ring in my pocket and she still had no idea. At each waterfall I was trying to find the perfect one, and then we finally got to the eigth waterfall. I just knew this is it. so we took the small trail underneath it and that’s when I got down on my knee and asked her to marry me. After what felt like forever, she saied yes! What I didn’t know was just a little ways up the trail was a couple who were taking a picture of the waterfall and caught the whole proposal. After she saied yes the couple came up to us to get our contact info to send us the pictures. Then we finished our hike and went to dinner at Denny’s and watched Spider-Man Far From Home.
