Alyse and Brian met on Tinder (like the millennial yuppies they are) in July 2017. They have been totally crazy about each other from the jump, spending their first date talking all night until sunrise. As the summer went on, they fell in love. But all good love stories have a catch: Brian was leaving Philadelphia; first to travel Europe, followed by probably leaving Philadelphia for good. AKA, a big ol' thumbs down. They soaked up as much time as they could together prior to his departure. While abroad, Brian continued to write Alyse often and couldn't help himself but to find ways to talk to her daily. Thousands of miles apart, they couldn't stop themselves from falling more and more in love. One day, Alyse opened a letter from Brian (while sitting at happy hour with bridesmate Maddy). He wrote that he wanted to move back to Philadelphia permanently, and let's do this thing. Autumn came, bringing Brian back to Philadelphia. He found a new job. He became the best dog dad to Ellis. They moved in together and shared the world's tiniest bathroom in their first apartment. They bought a house. Brian bought a ring. Alyse said yes. The falling in love part never stopped. In fact, it's still happening every day. And well, that pretty much catches you up to this whole "wedding" thing that brings you to this website.
