Our Wedding

Photos

Mark and Alyssa’s story began in high school, where they met in physics class. What started as a friendship eventually turned into something more, and on May 24th, 2015—during their junior year—they officially became a couple. Over the next ten years, they grew up together—surviving two different colleges, countless late-night calls, and the unique emotional rollercoaster of saying goodbye at the end of weekend visits.&nbsp;They navigated the ups and downs of young adulthood together, supporting each other through late-night study sessions and big decisions. Somewhere between graduation caps and grown-up jobs, they adopted their dog, Codei—an opinionated, extremely loved bundle of fur who quickly became the center of their world. Shortly thereafter, they moved in together, where they learned how to co-exist peacefully through everything from conflicting Netflix preferences to compromising over thermostat temperature. Over the years, Mark and Alyssa’s relationship has been built on laughter, patience, mutual respect, and just the right amount of sass. What began in a high school hallway has turned into a partnership full of love, support, and a shared talent for communicating exclusively in references and memes. Now, they’re so excited to finally say “I do” and celebrate this next chapter with all the people who’ve been along for the ride.
