Our Wedding

It all started with a simple swipe on Hinge and our first date at Yard House. Alyssa's family was a bit nervous about her going on an "online date," but we didn't know then that this would be the beginning of something so much more special than we ever could have imagined. In the hours we spent together that night, we realized that our families were connected in ways we never could have guessed. Stephen and his brother both went to Bryant University, just like Alyssa’s brother. Alyssa and Stephen’s sister both went to Quinnipiac University. Both Alyssa and Stephens's moms graduated from Fontbonne Academy. The real surprise came when we discovered that Stephen’s grandmother had been Alyssa’s mom’s second-grade teacher. It was like our families had unknowingly been tied together for years, waiting for us to find each other. With every new connection, we couldn't help but feel like this was more than just a coincidence. It was like our lives had been leading us toward this moment all along. Sitting together at Yard House, we both realized that this wasn’t just a first date—it was the start of something much bigger than we could have imagined. Looking back, we know that the love between us wasn’t just something we built—it was a bond that’s been quietly growing between our families for years. And now, we get to carry that forward together. This is only the beginning of our story, and we’re so grateful for the beautiful journey ahead. With our families’ connections as the foundation, we can’t wait to see what the future holds for us.
