At Mill's Tavern on Halloweekend 2016, Liz and her friends were waiting on line to enter the bar. Alex, donning a Rangers jersey, didn't want to wait, so he cut them in line. Prompted by Liz's dirty looks and cute Minnie Mouse ears, he offered to buy her a drink in apology. While they were waiting, a friend from high school in a spooky mask recognized her, and said, "Hey, Liz," not realizing he gave Alex her name. Because he cut them, Alex was able to get into the bar before Liz. When they finally entered, Alex called Liz and her friends over to make good on his promise. Liz and Alex spent the rest of the night together, discussing anything and everything. They haven't stopped talking since.

Liz was under the impression that they were going to dinner with some friends in Hoboken. When they arrived, Alex told Liz, "They're running late. We should take a walk by the water while we wait." As they walked along the river, looking at the New York City skyline, Alex suddenly pulled Liz to the right, and into a heart made of candles. He got down on one knee, proposed, and Liz was speechless. She said yes, and a photographer that was hidden appeared. After a couple of photos, they drove to Dino & Harry's where both of their parents were waiting to congratulate them at dinner. After that surprise, Liz was met with another. They arrived at a bar, and when they entered, they found friends and family waiting to celebrate, too. They are so excited to celebrate again with you all at the wedding!
