It was Alyson who made the first move. She asked Alexis out but he didn’t want to date anyone because he just got out of a difficult relationship. She got into a relationship soon after!

I was trying to pursue him, but he said he didn’t want to date somebody he was working with. We developed a great friendship and I started dating someone else.

Alyson tried to ask him out but he didn’t want to date.

Alyson started dating someone but Alexis couldn’t turn a blind eye to their relationship. Well, things changed. The pair started developing feelings for each other and fell in love pretty quickly. Though they were dating, they were never in a hurry to get married.

I took my mom’s advice and thought really hard about the whole thing — and didn’t marry until I was nearly 30.

Hannigan talks about her mom’s advice.

A year before their marriage, Alexis took Alyson to his mother’s house to celebrate Christmas but they stopped by a lake around Sonoma and Napa for a while.

The whole time I am getting kind of frustrated, like, ‘Why does he always do this? He says the most romantic things and it would be the perfect way to propose and then he doesn’t propose.’

Hannigan was frustrated because Alexis didn’t propose.

Well, this time, Denisof did propose!

And then, suddenly, he did. “I was like, ‘Huh?’” she said. “Everything in my brain just screeched to a halt. I wish I had TiVo, so I could rewind the whole thing. … It was a complete surprise. But I knew he meant it because he had a ring.”

Alyson was wonderstruck on Denisof’s proposal.

The pair hitched a year later and settled in Encino, California. InStyle Magazine featured her wedding in their February 2004 issue.

The pair had thought about naming their first child Madeline, but, when she realized the name was a popular one, they dropped this name. They even took four days to name their first daughter since Alexis and Alyson were busy debating over how to spell “Satyana”.

[When I got pregnant the first time] we thought of traditional names like Madeline. Then I went on name websites and realized how popular it was which made it go down in ranking. As the pregnancy progressed, the ideas became unique. I loved Satyana but we didn’t name her for four days because we were debating over how to spell it. I finally said [to Alexis], ‘We have to name her because I am tired of calling her baby girl.’
