Our Wedding

Both Josh and Alissa grew up in Pennsylvania, Josh on the eastern side, Pottsville, and Alissa closer to Pittsburgh, West Newton. Josh and Alissa first crossed paths with the help of some work friends when Alissa moved back to Nashville in 2016. After having one too many drinks and showing off his killer dance moves, Josh took a shot at a first kiss, which Alissa immediately rejected. Alissa followed that up by leaving Josh locked out of this townhouse in 30 degree weather. Let’s just say it wasn’t love at first sight. After recovering from the embarrassing events, Josh and Alissa remained friends for many years. After a number of years of friendship, both Josh and Alissa happened to be involved in separate car accidents within a month of each other. These unfortunate events ultimately led to Alissa taking the first step of asking Josh out on a date. Thankfully, for her, Josh was able to move past his prior heartbreak and agreed. Fast forward to Spring 2024, Josh asked Alissa’s father, Chuck, if he could marry his daughter. After 3 months of not proposing to Alissa, Chuck called Josh to make sure everything was ok, as this was the longest he’s ever kept a secret, or so he claims. Josh assured him that everything was alright and it was just a matter of time before he’d ask. Josh finally proposed to Alissa in late June 2024 in a small State Park outside of Nashville on the first day of a summer heat wave. Thankfully for all of us, she said yes leading us to today. We’re so excited and thankful to be celebrating our special wedding day with you all. Each one of you has had an impact on our lives and we’re glad we get to share this day with you.
