Wedding Date on Oct 21, 2017

Alex actually met me about 9 months before our "official" meeting. I was at a college friends housewarming and we were introduced (but i don't remember anything from that day!) 9 months later, i have a close college friend who worked at Merck with Alex, and she said she wanted to introduce us. We exchanged numbers and the rest is history :) Alex had a 30th birthday coming up, and he wanted me to help plan it for his family and close friends to attend. I am also an accountant, so this was around month end time as well as Easter. It was very stressful for me (and he planned it to be that way), and i was so happy to finally have all the plans in place. On April 2nd, 2015, he made plans for us to visit Nasser Museum, on Duke University's campus for dinner and to walk around the art exhibit. He said he wanted me to dress up a little, and i was skeptical about his plans but then i thought okay maybe he wants to go dancing afterwards. So we eat, and are walking around at the exhibits, and unbeknownst to me, he was scoping out place to propose. We finally see a video exhibit with dancing flowers and he takes me in there and we just sit down on the couches and talk about the future for a bit. Next, we stand to leave and he gets down on one knee to propose. I was absolutely surprised about the whole thing! (Its almost impossible to surprise me!) I said yes!! :)
