We met at a dirty frat house in Galloway, N.J. the summer before Alex's last semester at Stockton University. The first time we hung out consisted of skunked keg beer and a back yard slip and slide. Shortly after, we spent a day in Wildwood with mutual friends where Alex almost sank her dads wave runner (Sorry Dad). We then stayed out dancing in Atlantic City until 6 am. After their first adventure, Steve began to take Alex on dates with his college budget which included the local diner, bowling alley, and even N-wing when he was feeling very generous. After about a month of getting to know one another, Alex knew she liked Steve when he took her on a date to the local pet store and as they were leaving he backed into the same car not once, but twice!
Steve proposed on October 17th, 2020 (his 26th birthday) at our first apartment together in Marlton. When Alex woke up that morning Steve sent her for a manicure and massage. When she got home Steve had their apartment decorated with string lights and roses with a note that instructed Alex to get ready for dinner at one of their favorite spots, Dante & Luigi's in Philadelphia. Soon after she was ready Steve and Lily walked through the door and that is when Steve dropped to one knee! We spent the night at Alex's parents house celebrating with our families and closest friends. It is a day we will never forget!
