How We Met
It all began in the summer of 2017, when Kaleb went on a study abroad trip to Peru. There he met one of Alison's friends from her freshman year at Northeastern, who introduced us to each other that September. We remained friends for two more years until we had our first date on Kaleb's 22nd birthday, at the Mission Hill Chilacates.
The Proposal
We planned a nice dinner at Eleven Madison Park in Manhattan to celebrate Alison's 26th birthday. Kaleb suggested killing some time in Central Park before the reservation, since we had not spent much time in the city since our move from Boston. Kaleb proposed near the Boat House, taking advantage of the opportunity to dress nicely for dinner. Alison's sister came to the city for the occasion, so we celebrated with her and another local friend after dinner.
