He was the quiet star soccer player known as Beckham Jr. She was the outgoing one who ended asking him to dance at a mutual friend’s birthday party. This is Alexis & Isaac’s #LoveInTheBOI story



How did you two meet?

Isaac & I met in our high school english class. He was the sweet quiet one, I was the crazy loud one! He was the star soccer player at our school, everyone called him Beckham Jr. (in reference to David Beckham) We hadn't really talked much in school, but one night my best friend & I went to her boyfriends birthday party. I barely knew anyone there... Once I saw Isaac was there I asked him to dance with me & the rest is history!

Describe Your First Date

Our first date wasn't really a date at all, I was convinced we were just friends, I swore I didn't like him. We went on a double date as friends, ice skating. On our drive home he held my hand and I remember feeling so giddy. We texted for a while after that. I started going to his soccer games & making him signs saying "Go Beckham Jr" and even a huge sign for his senior night (no really three people had to help me hold it up)

What are you favorite local things to do & places to go

We moved to Boise 4 years ago at the young age of 19. When we arrived here we knew this would be home! We love being downtown & checking out all the little shops and new restaurants! Some of our favorite places are Matador, 10 Barrel, and Taphouse for brunch!

What is one word of advice you have to those who are still in search of love?

Love is beautiful, captivating, all consuming. Never stop searching for your other half, never lower your standards. The perfect person is out there for you! Some love takes time to develop, you may not even know that it is happening at first, but once you find someone you couldn't picture your life without, don't give up on them. Don't let go.
