How We Met

Alex and Cara met online during the summer of Covid, he asked her to share a bottle of wine in Brooklyn Bridge park while watching the dogs walk by with Wilson. The date lasted for 3+ hours with little Willy napping under their bench. On one of their first few dates Alex announced he was moving to Boston for a new job, Cara proposed they hang out every day until Alex moved by creating a NYC bucket list of his favorite places, she then also helped him to move up north. Over the next couple years they grew very close despite the distance, traveling the Northeast from New Jersey to Maine and alternating weekends spent together - her riding Amtrak up or him driving down. After 2 years of working in Boston, Alex and Wilson returned home to NYC to move in with Cara.

The Proposal

For the proposal Alex asked Cara to take a walk on the East River Promenade to get burritos in LES. He stopped at a graffiti heart on the ground and popped the question. All she could say was "why would you do this on the way to burritos, I look a mess. also YES" Alex's friend Gio was there to capture the exact moment, and also a re-do where her nails were painted.
