On a chilly spring evening, Lex, new to Boston, was invited to go out to the infamous Tia's by the Harbor with a co-worker and her friend from Boston University. Little did she know, that would be the night she fell head-over-heels for Nick. After a few months of Snapchatting (it was 2017, ok...) and the occasional text, Lex finally worked up the courage to ask Nick to see a DJ they liked at the ICA in Boston in July. That night, they bonded over their mutual love of music, film, and art... and the rest is history.

On the night he proposed, Nick surprised Lex with dinner at her favorite restaurant in Boston, Pastoral. In the early days of their relationship, they spent a lot of time there, as Lex's office was right upstairs! He didn't want to give away the big surprise, so he kept it casual and they hung out at the bar, sipping espresso martinis and enjoying the best Neopolitan pizza in the city, followed by a nightcap at the nearby Trillium Brewery. After a beer or two, Lex was keen on going home to snuggle with Bitsy and watch repeats of their favorite shows, but Nick had ulterior motives... he convinced her to take "the scenic" route back to the car, leading her in the complete opposite direction to the ICA steps where they had their very first date just over 4 years earlier. As they approached the steps, Nick got down on one knee and asked Lex to spend the rest of their lives by each other's side, right where their lives together began.
