Our Love Story

Frank and Alexis's love story is one for the books. Both grew up in the charming town of Cranston, RI, but their paths never crossed until the fateful summer of 2016. It was a warm evening in August when Alexis was out on a date with another man at a local bar. As fate would have it, Frank was there too, with friends. Their eyes met across the room, and despite the circumstances, they struck up a conversation that left a lasting impression on both of them. The very next day, unable to shake the memory of their encounter, Alexis decided to take a bold step. She slid into Frank's DMs on Instagram, hoping to continue their conversation from the night before. Frank, intrigued and equally interested, took the bait and invited Alexis to meet him at Blu on the Water that evening. Their connection was undeniable, and that night marked the beginning of countless dates and endless conversations. As the summer days turned into autumn, Frank knew he wanted to keep Alexis in his life. Their relationship blossomed over the next seven years, filled with laughter, adventures, and unwavering support for each other. Fast forward to a crisp day in November, seven years later. Frank had meticulously planned a proposal at the Ocean House, aiming to keep it a surprise. However, the universe had other plans. As Alexis climbed into Frank's truck for their journey, she immediately noticed a small ring box in the center console. Curiosity piqued, she asked Frank about it without hesitation. Frank's heart skipped a beat, but he quickly concocted an excuse, claiming it was an early Christmas gift that needed to be returned due to the wrong size. Despite the hint, Alexis played along. They enjoyed a beautiful brunch upon reaching the Ocean House, savoring the breathtaking views of the property. As they strolled through the scenic grounds, Frank found the perfect moment and dropped to one knee, asking Alexis to be his forever. Ever the playful spirit, Alexis jokingly said "no" before quickly changing her answer to an enthusiastic "yes." Their joy was doubled when their parents appeared, having secretly been invited by Frank to share in the celebration. The day was filled with love, laughter, and the promise of a future together. Frank and Alexis's journey from a chance meeting to a beautiful engagement is a testament to the magic of love and the serendipitous moments that bring people together.
