From 2020 to now, we have experienced many life changes! From graduatations, adopting a puppy, two moves, and many career changes we are incredibly grateful to have each other to experience our many steps to adulthood. We have listed our favorite memory of our relationship while also explaining why our wedding location is very sentimental to us.


Brendans favorite memory:
While visiting Alyssa’s dad, stepmom, and sister in Massachusetts we went to the city and explored Boston. The day started out sunny and clear sky. We joined Alyssa’s family on a tour where we took a bus (that eventually turned into a boat) and it showed us around the city! We saw historical landmarks, amazing buildings, and beautiful parks. Once the tour was done, Alyssa and I explored the city ourselves while her family went home. What started out as a sunny and clear sky quickly turned into cloudy and pouring down rain! This, however did not ruin our fun. In fact, we had more fun running through the city, splashing in puddles, and taking a cozy train ride home. This was one adventure of many and many more to come! I cannot wait to see what forever brings us.

Alyssas favoite memory:
At this point in our relationship, Brendan has never visited the East Coast! What better way to meet my family than a 6 hour plane ride to Charlotte, NC and a 3 hour car ride with my newly introduced dad? Brendan saw the beautiful Appalachian Mountains and experienced amazing memories with my family. He saw where I would spend my childhood summers and discovers that lightening bugs are in fact real. Seeing how well he bonded with my grandparents, aunts and uncles, cousins, and dad I knew that he will be a fundamental part of my family. To end our vacation, we came home and spend time with our dog, Saint. Cheers to many more East Coast trips!


We had met during the pandemic of 2020, therefore we had many outdoor beach dates! The beach has been an important landmark of our relationship and will continue to be so as we start this next chapter of our lives. First dates, the proposal, and now our wedding, the beach will always be there! As we gather all our friends and family at the beautiful view of the Pacific Ocean, we hope you enjoy your time and create amazing memories like we have!
