How they met

Alejandro was a manager at Copper Fox in Downtown Geneva. Nicole was working full time looking for a side hustle and got hired on as a server. On her first day, Alejandro trained her. Towards the end of the shift, Alejandro told Nicole that he needed to move his "bike". Nicole thought to herself - oh yeah okay just your average bicycle - until she heard the engine of a motorcycle. He came back in where they laughed about how she thought it was just a bicycle and told him that it was on her bucket list to ride on the back of motorcycle. That night after their shift, Alejandro took her on a motorcycle ride and well, the rest is history!

The Proposal

Every Valentine's Day for the last 3 years, Alejandro would take Nicole out to a fancy dinner. This year, Alejandro decided to adventure out to Downtown Chicago. They went to a nice rooftop restaurant in Wicker Park called Kennedy Rooftop where there were private igloos set out on the outdoor rooftop patio looking out to the city skyline. Nicole was in awe of the view. Alejandro asked the waitress if she could take our picture in front of the night skyline. Little do you know, she is taking a video when Alejandro got down on one knee. It was so romantic and private and every thing Nicole had dreamed of!
