The Proposal

June 7, 2020

It was Emmanuel's birthday and the couple planned to celebrate with an art gallery hop followed by dinner. They decided to start at Robert Lange Studios, one of their favorite art galleries where Emmanuel previously asked Alexis to be his girlfriend. While walking through the gallery, he asked her to face a painting so he could take a picture of her. She heard "Beyond" by Leon Bridges (their song) playing over the speakers and she turned around to see Emmanuel on one knee holding the ring! She ran over to him and he asked her to marry him, to which she replied YES! The couple celebrated with a champagne toast then made their way to Meyer Vogl Gallery, where Emmanuel planned for them to be greeted with a bouquet of flowers and more champagne. From there, they enjoyed a lovely candlelit dinner at Indaco, Alexis' favorite restaurant, then strolled down King Street to Fiat Lux, a rooftop bar that overlooks the city. When they got downstairs, a bike taxi was waiting to take them to American Theater (yes, the one from The Notebook!!) where the marquee was lit up to say "Coming Soon: Alexis and Emmanuel Get Hitched!". It was a magical night that they will never forget.
