Larissa had just moved to Boston after having lived in Arizona for graduate school. Her roommate, Hayley, suggested they go to an Avicii concert with some friends. So Hayley and Larissa headed over to a friend's house before the concert where Steve happened to be as well. They spent the whole night together and pretty much every night since then! It was love at first sight or first patron shot, either way Avicii was the start of their forever.
The day of the proposal was a pretty regular day leading up to it, they spent the day working from home and hanging with the dogs. Larissa decided that she was tired of looking at her chipped nail polish, so she decided to give them a fresh paint (thank god!). She also decided she was sick of her quarantine chic look so she decided to blow dry her hair (another thank god!) When Steve saw Larissa blow drying her hair he nervously asked "Do you have plans somewhere?" Of course she did not so Larissa and Steve ordered take out from their favorite neighborhood restaurant, Monument, grabbed a bottle of wine and headed up to the roof deck for a nice Wine Wednesday. Larissa headed up first with Oscar, and when Steve finally got up there he was forcing Ellie to come up with him (she does not like the roof deck, it is very scary with all the sounds!) So Larissa started giving Steve a hard time about making her go up. (Little did she know what was about to happen and Steve knew she would have wanted both her fur babies there!) Steve set the bag of food down and started taking the containers out and handing them to Larissa and when he came to the last box he said "Oh what's this one?" and handed Larissa the ring box. Instantly shock took over and Larissa basically forgets everything else that happened so she actually did not give Steve a "yes" for a few hours! But for her it was never even really a question!
