Their love story began back in 2012 when Christopher and Alissa were both working at H&M (clothing store) during their college years. Christopher's energy was magnetic, he was able to captivate people's attention with his storytelling and humor. Alissa was drawn to his captivating presence, but unfortunately was too shy to strike up a conversation. Eventually, fate put them together in the fitting room one night at work, which forced them to finally speak to one another. Both were taken by surprise about how well they could carry on a conversation with someone they hardly knew. Alissa finally gathered the courage to ask for his number. The next few weeks were constant texts back and forth all throughout the day and night. Christopher and Alissa were beginning to notice that their favorite time of the day was spent talking to one another other. The friendship grew into something more when Alissa asked Christopher to go dancing. That night they both admitted their feelings for one another, and the rest is history. From that point on they were inseparable, and quickly considered one another their best friends. Christopher introduced Alissa to his group of friends, many of whom are now groomsmen in their wedding, and it turns out they had a mutual friend. It seems like their lives were meant to be intertwined. Throughout the last seven years they have been there for one another through college graduations, life's challenges and changes, and perhaps their most favorite pastime of all, travel. Christopher and Alissa have experienced the world together, and created unforgettable memories along the way. He proposed on the morning of May 18th after presenting Alissa with a beautiful album detailing their 6 1/2 year adventure together. Together they have shared so many adventures and now will be the most incredible one yet, and they cannot wait to share that day with the people they love most. Thank you for being a part of one of the most important day of their lives!
