Our Wedding

Mike and Alyssa met in Buffalo&nbsp;shortly before he left for medical school. Two weeks to be exact. After 6 months of keeping in touch online, Mike returned for a much needed winter break. The two saw&nbsp;each other a lot over the holidays and finally THE conversation was prompted by a loving uncle, "So how long have you guys been dating?" An ice breaker to say the least, but it was a much needed nudge. The two&nbsp;started dating on&nbsp;Christmas, which was&nbsp;followed by a visit in June&nbsp;from Alyssa to Dominica (where Mike was in medical school). A second trip was made to the Caribbean with family in August. Fast forward to Mike deciding where to go for clinical rotations&nbsp;and finding out it was NYC. Together they moved to Queens, NY and endured tiny apartment living&nbsp;and the hustle and bustle of NYC. Next up, was Match Day where a single&nbsp;email would send them somewhere else in the country within 30 days! They were ecstatic to find out that they were heading to the Nation's Capital,&nbsp;Washington DC.&nbsp;Here they built a home together and acquired&nbsp;their son, Vinny.&nbsp; After 5 years of dating, both domestic and abroad, Mike popped the question in front of the Darwin-Martin house in Buffalo and Alyssa said, "Yes!".&nbsp;
