Alyssa and Jared had known of each other for years, but it wasn't until their best friend's wedding that they truly crossed paths. At the rehearsal dinner, a friend discreetly nudged each to consider giving it a shot. Assigned the task of signing the marriage license, they found themselves drawn together in an unexpected twist of fate. Later in the evening, Alyssa stepped outside for a breath of fresh air and spotted Jared chatting with her parents and their friends. Intrigued, she joined them, and Jared couldn't contain his intentions, blurting out his plan to ask Alyssa out. True to his word, they had their first date the following Thursday, and the rest is history. Jared's proposal unfolded at the very spot where he had boldly declared his intention to Alyssa's parents—right in front of the LOVE sign at the Harbor Club.
