On a random Thursday in August, after a long day in Wrigleyville with his friends and a brief encounter with Big and Rich, Mike went out for a night cap at a rooftop bar in River North with his friend. Meg Martin had asked Lexi to accompany her to meet her friends for a drink. Unknowingly, on that random Thursday Lexi met her future husband. Thank you Meg!!!

Mike woke up and decided today is the day! That night they had plans to attend The Rolling Stones concert at Soldier Field. Upon arrival, Mike surprised Lexi with pit seats. Being a die hard Stones fan, she thought her life was complete...she had no idea what was to come. Mike hurried Lexi onto a bike-pedicab to get to Burnham Harbor for some pre-concert drinks with friends. As they approached their friend's boat, Lexi was obliviously waving to all her friends and was uncertain why everyone was staring at her with their phones out. Before she knew it, Mike was down on one knee. He didn't even get the words out of his mouth before she grabbed the ring and jumped with excitement. By the way, she said 'yes'! After celebrating with tequila, macaroons, and good friends, they danced the night away to the talents of Mick Jagger. That is the story of the Stone before the Stones, the day this Shrimp's life was finally complete!
