Our Wedding

We met first night of college in August of 2020. To our surprise, we had several mutual friends after learning we were from the same area! We stayed friends, always hanging out here and there over the years, when in May of 2023, we reconnected and started talking a lot over the summer. Coming back to school for our senior year, we couldnt seem to stay away from each other! We both realized how much we really liked each other and could not go another day without telling each other how we felt. And in September, we started officially dating. From that point on, we had a feeling that this relationship was something special. In November of 2024, Josh asked Alyssa to marry her on a little island at Smith Mountain Lake, and she said yes! The rest is history, and were incredibly thankful that the Lord led us back together over the years to become each others best friend.
