Our Wedding

Welcome to our story! We are so excited to share our journey with you and how we got to planning the best day of our lives. It all started with a swipe right. We met on a dating app called Hinge and yes this is a success story! After a week of talking on the phone, Josh finally asked Alyssa on their first date to Reflections. Immediately after our first date, we knew we wanted to see each other again! On our second date at the Belvedere Inn is where we both fell in love with each other (without the other one knowing) and where we had our first kiss. After many dates later and meeting each other's families, we both knew that we wanted to marry each other one day. Our relationship didn't come without its challenges and with that we only grew stronger and more in love with each other. We both grew our relationship stronger in that time period with the Lord as we started to attend Ephrata Community Church. Two and a half years later. Josh surprised Alyssa with the proposal she always dreamed of at John Wrights Restaurant with close friends and family surrounding them. We are continuing to grow as a couple while planning our special day and we can't thank our families enough for their support and love throughout our journey! We are blessed to share the best day of our lives with you!
