Robbie and Alexa began their relationship in 2019, but for this love story we have to go back much further. Both natives of Boca Raton, they spent much of their childhood and adult lives floating in similar circles but not quite close enough to meet. Robbie went to St. Joan of Arc for K-8th Grade and Alexa went to St Jude, the two rival Catholic schools in town. They spent weekends playing Boca Hoops basketball games, fall festivals at the St. Jude carnival, Christmas parades on Federal Highway, summers at Palmetto Beach, and even went to the same pediatrician They then went on to attend the same high school, Pope John Paul II Catholic School. Separated by one grade and only 498 other students, they passed each other in the halls blissfully unaware of their destiny. Football games, homecomings, parties, lacrosse practices passed with nothing more than general acknowledgment of the other. Robbie went on to college at Florida State University and Alexa to the University of Alabama where they graduated and then both migrated back home to Boca Raton in 2015. Robbie and Alexa found themselves so very close to meeting again when he continued his career path at Morgan Stanley and Alexa began hers at Merrill Lynch, two rivaled Wealth Management firms less than 1 mile apart on Palmetto Pk Rd. But it wasn't until Robbie and his roommate, Tom's, annual "Friendsgivemas" in 2018 that they were formally introduced. As you can imagine, they had plenty to talk about with so much in common, and so it all began! They spent the next two and a half years boating with friends, testing recipes in their kitchen, loving their dogs (Dakota and Jax), craft cocktailing, playing tennis and golf, debating who the better college football team is, traveling, skiing, scuba diving, and enjoying every minute in each other's company. Robbie got down on one knee during of one of their beach picnics on 10/06/2021 and they decided that they wanted nothing more than to live this life together forever!
