Alissa + Matt // The Proposal - 112 Eatery, Minneapolis

February 2, 2026 Bernadette Fox

Matt planned a gorgeous, super romantic proposal for his girl, Alissa, and everything went perfectly! (spoiler alert... she said YES). He arranged for a private room at 112 Eatery in downtown Minneapolis, one of their favorite restaurants, and thought of every last detail -- from strings of cafe lights to beautiful flowers, fun photos of their adventures together, special wine and a custom dinner menu -- all leading up to his popping the question on 3 mini-chalkboard signs (Alissa... will you... marry me?). Alissa was genuinely surprised and couldn't believe that he had done so much planning without her knowing! They embraced, laughed, toasted with champagne and then sat down to share their first meal together as fiancees. Congratulations Alissa + Matt -- I was honored to witness!
