Aiden and Alyssa met in high school through a mutual friend and quickly became inseparable! After months of spending time together and getting to know each other, they officially started dating on April 9, 2021.

Not long after becoming official, they went to prom together! This was their first big milestone as a couple and a night they will always remember.

After Alyssa graduated high school in May 2021, they spent the summer making the most of every moment. They took many trips to Lake Ouachita, spent time with friends and family, and made countless memories together before Alyssa began her first year of college and Aiden started his senior year of high school.

Even though Aiden was in his senior year of high school and Alyssa had started college in Conway, AR, they made the distance work! They spent weekends together, went to sorority formals, and enjoyed family trips—making the most of every moment despite the distance.

During Aiden's work travels and Alyssa's busy college schedule, they decided to take some time apart. Even though life pulled them in different directions for a while, they found their way back to each other when the timing finally felt right!

After months of occasional conversations, they finally reconnected in October 2024 — and this time, they knew it was forever!

On June 28, 2025, at Lake Ouachita—a place filled with so many memories from time spent together with friends and family—Aiden asked Alyssa to spend forever together! It was a moment that marked the beginning of a lifetime filled with love and joy.
