Alexis is a New York girl from Michigan. Matt is a Miami boy who left the warm weather of Florida for Chicago. One August night, a good friend of Matt's was in NYC for work and met Alexis. That night, she professed to Alexis that she knew exactly who her future husband would be. And at the exact same time, she was texting with Matt saying "I just met your wife." Being 825 miles apart presented a problem, but one layover night at Gilt Bar in Chicago on her way to London, Alexis met Matt. One drink turned to many, and they have been together ever since.

The funny thing about this story is that Alexis knew this was coming. She didn't know the when, or the how, but she definitely knew the why. When they left for drinks that night at the rooftop bar of the J. Parker hotel, Matt couldn't help but notice that Alexis kept checking his pockets for a ring box. Using old school magic (literally just moving the box from pocket to pocket), he was able to keep it hidden from her. After drinks, they took a casual stroll into Lincoln Park (where the sudden rain almost ruined his plans) and ended up at a picturesque bridge with views overlooking the entire city skyline. It was there that Matt got down on one knee and proposed. Clearly, she said yes!
