Amidst the post-college job hunt, Alexis took a waitressing job at Barcelona Wine Bar in West Hartford. She quickly became friends with two bartenders, who happened to be Joe's sister, Rebecca, and her husband, Dan—who had also met at Barcelona! Despite Rebecca's occasional hints about setting Alexis up with her brother Joe, nothing came of it at the time. A few months later, after a night at work, Alexis met up with some friends, including Miguel and Vanessa, who she met for the first time that night. Coincidentally, they were friends with Joe, and after chatting for a bit, they also suggested a potential match. They even joked, "If you date a Farrah, you'll never have to worry about changing your car's oil again!" Apparently, Miguel and Vanessa shared the conversation with Joe, because just a few days before Thanksgiving in 2020, Joe sent Alexis a message on Instagram. And the rest was history... Fast forward four and a half years, and we are so grateful for everyone who played a role in bringing us together. We can’t wait to celebrate our love with all of you!
