Saturday came and I was on time as ALWAYS, patiently waiting for Jenni, Alvaro and Alex. Dinner went on uneventful discussing a myriad of topics. Alexis did arrange a beach day for the following day. During or after dinner Alex DID NOT make any attempts to request my number or showed any kind of interest. Therefore at the completion of dinner I simply said goodbye and left.

The next day the four of us went to the beach. It was at the end of the day that Alex asked for my number, I gave it to him and our love story began…

It happened – with the assistance of KillaG- on Vivi’s first visit to New York. Vivi and KillaG planned a couples trip to NY for December 2015.  It was just over a year since Alex and Vivi started dating so a proposal was completely out of her mind.

The “proposal evening” started with a dinner to “Le Bernardin”. A limo was the mode of transportation to the restaurant (even that didn’t hint Vivi as to what to expect). Vivi says she questioned the transportation of choice (so she says but we question this question); Alex explained that the limo had not had a fare all day and that the driver was going to charge the same as a taxi. The truth was the bellhop was in on the event taking place that evening and arranged the limo, Alexis did not even know this was being done.  He smiled and gave the bellhop a nice tip.  After dinner they head back to the hotel. When Vivi opened the door to her room she saw red roses scattered all over the floor/bed, and the room had perfect lightning. She thought it was a very romantic gesture so she turned around to say thanks and found Alexis on one knee holding an engagement ring.  She was in such a state of happiness and shock she did not hear what Alexis said while on his knee.
