How did you guys meet?: Marissa moved to Seattle less than a year prior and landed herself a job at Darigold. Marissa was ‘the cute new girl’ at work and everyone knew it. Recognizing this, Alex asked her if she would like to join him and a few co-workers out to lunch, on a few occasions. Marissa would politely decline. Alex could not tell if she was playing the toughest hard-to-get of all time or thought that Alex and his friends were losers, either way his chances did not look good…Turns out, she was just poor at the time.
On Friday of Marissa’s second week at Darigold, Matt (on Marissa’s finance team) invited her to join in a night out of fun after work to celebrate Alex’s 25th birthday. Marissa hated going to events not knowing anyone and all her friends were busy. Normally, she would not have gone out, but being she was in a new city -- starting a new job -- she decided to roll the dice. When Marissa arrived at the location (Frolick rooftop bar) she was a little nervous but was greeted by everyone. Alex’s friends were offering him a drink to celebrate his birthday, but to everyone’s surprise he declined and said he was only interested in buying Marissa a drink. A Strawberry Mojito – it remains one of their favorite drinks to this day. It was during this first conversation that their love began.
Tell us about the proposal!: We were in San Diego for Alex's 30th bday and we went down early and he brought me to my favorite hotel the del Coronado and he rented a firepit at sunset and got down on one knee and of course I SAID YESS!!!
