Our Wedding

Ryan & Alyssa’s story started out just like a scene straight from ‘Grey’s Anatomy’: Alyssa, a senior surgical resident, and Ryan, a brand new surgical intern, met while treating a critically ill trauma patient at Detroit Receiving Hospital. Eventually their relationship developed from colleagues, to friends, and finally in 2021 their love story began. In June 2024, Ryan proposed to Alyssa and the rest is history!
