We're Getting Married!

They met on August 25th, 2019 at the Landmark in Glassboro, NJ. Because of their conflicting schedules, their first date wasn't until September 28th, 2019. Despite her many attempts to stop him, her dad was waiting on the front porch for him when he came to pick her up (he went to the wrong house originally). An afternoon and night with a fall festival, a Phillies game, and drinks after was what the date had in store. They both didn't want the night to end. Stephen and Alexa clicked almost immediately. They knew in their hearts that they had something special between them already. Their second date was on October 5th, 2019 at the Lake House restaurant. After a night of good food and good wine, they drove back to Alexa's house to drop her off. In the car, Stephen asked Alexa to be his girlfriend. She joyfully said yes and it was the best decision she ever made. The couple had a wonderful time whenever they were together. They loved each other and knew pretty quickly that this relationship was the endgame. The pandemic hit and the couple had to navigate through that to ensure the safety of themselves as well as their families, and they came out stronger than ever. For their one year anniversary, they rented a little house in Cape May and enjoyed a week in Cape May together. They found a love with Cape May and it is considered their happy place. For their two year anniversary, they went to Niagara Falls and the Finger Lakes. On October 5th, 2021, they went on the Maid of the Mist boat and stood in the very front of the boat and got soaking wet, laughed a bunch, and just stood in awe at the beauty in front of them. Stephen looked at Alexa and said "I love you Alexa. I want to spend the rest of my life with you. Will you marry me?" He got down on one knee and Alexa cried and gave a confident yes. And now they'll be together until the end of time.
