Alex and I met at Chesapeake Inn. We were introduced to each other by mutual friends. We were both sitting at a table and I decided that I would speak in a British accent and I guess he thought it was funny. We didn’t exchange numbers or anything that night, but a few weeks later Alex was asked by our mutual friend to come down the beach for my birthday. After a few other times of hanging out with our friends, he asked me out for a drink. I didn’t realize he was asking only me to hang out, so I said “Cool! Who else is coming?” He says “Well…me and hopefully you”… and the rest is history lol.

We had plans to go out for New Year’s Eve. While getting ready to leave the house for the event, Alex surprised me by getting down on one knee and asking me to marry him! I was so shocked and overjoyed! I get to marry my best friend! Having this beautiful memory in our home that means so much to us is amazing. Ever since I bought our house in January 2018, it has brought me some of the best memories. It means the world that Alex proposed to me in our home, adding yet another memory to this wonderful place we get to call home.
