Welcome to our Website!

We met at Billy Mark's West, one of the divey-est of dive bars in New York City. The Phillies were playing the Mets on the TV, and we made a bet- if the Phillies won, Alexis would give Joe her number. Well, the Phillies lost. But Joe still got her number, and here we are today...

We had decided to take a weekend trip to New York to visit friends. Right before we left, the weather turned decidedly unfriendly, and I was ready to back out, but Joe convinced me we should still go (I realized later because he had other plans!). We headed to Brooklyn to "meet friends for lunch," who then "called" to say they were running late. Joe led me on a walk past the Brooklyn Bridge and onto the Promenade to pass some time, which on a nice day is a beautiful walk with spectacular views of New York City. Unfortunately, the weather did not cooperate with Joe that day, and it was cold, gray, and windy. He decided pretty quickly that a long romantic stroll was not happening, and grabbed my hand as soon as we got down to the walkway. It was short, sweet, and perfect. We took a few blustery photos, then ran to the nearest bar to celebrate!
