Our Wedding

Will and Alyssa first met 16 years ago, unaware of where their story would lead.&nbsp;Alyssa became friends with Abby (Will’s sister) in middle school and the two even played on the same youth basketball team with Kos (Father of the bride) and Craig (Father of the groom) as their coaches.&nbsp;Fast forward to 2021 and both Will and Alyssa were back in Zionsville working after college and trying to find someone through dating apps in the middle of covid.&nbsp;Alyssa was brave enough to respond to Will's prompt about his ideal Sunday being church followed by brunch and the rest is history.

Our Story

Photos

Alyssa and Allie became besties on the middle school softball team. They started as “relationship buddies” and grew closer through high school, Disney trips together, and making so many memories at IU! They’ve eaten many oreos and hibachi together, and giggled until their stomachs hurt. Allie is an unwavering friend who is always there to help Alyssa decide on an outfit and curl her hair.
