Alex and I are highschool sweethearts. Our love first kindled when we had overlapping classes as a junior and senior. We stayed together through multiple colleges, apartments, long distance, and many years!

We had planned to spend NYE in the big apple with close friends after just celebrating our 6th anniversary a few days prior. We spent the first day sightseeing and somehow scored a table at an exclusive speakeasy bar in the East Village. Alex popped the question in the middle of the night outside of the speakeasy. He got down on one knee, as all of our friends grabbed for their phones, and asked the question I had been waiting so long to hear.
