The first day we met was at a brewery. Our nurse anesthesia class planned a day to meet one another at Stony Creek Brewery. Bri classically showed up at the wrong place, and therefore arrived at the proper place late...a perfect first impression. We were both so nervous about meeting the class, we barely spoke to one another that day.

Bri thought that she and Alex were driving to his parent's house for a Thanksgiving dinner. Relying on Bri's horrible sense of direction, Alex was able to trick Bri into thinking she was in Massachusetts. It wasn't until Alex pulled up alongside the beach that Bri realized they were in Rhode Island instead. When Bri asked why they were at the beach, Alex replied "we're just taking a quick detour." Once Alex parked alongside the water, Bri once again asked what was going on. Alex running out of excuses replied with a quick "I have to show you something." They began walking alongside the water when Alex pulled out two old photographs of his parents in the same spot back when they got married. He then lead Bri down the beach to where there was a basket with flowers and champagne. While walking toward the basket Bri said to Alex "you're making me nervous", at which point she blacked out and can't remember what was said next. Alex got down on one knee and proposed, and based on the pictures we're assuming Bri said YES!!!!
