✨ The Beginning Alyssa and Aaron’s story began in the most unexpected way—at Freddy’s, where they worked together as cashiers. Before that, they actually shared a surprising connection they didn’t realize at the time: both had their first jobs at Journeys Kidz, just at different points in their lives. Aaron worked there a year before moving on to Freddy’s, and Alyssa eventually followed the same path without knowing their stories had already overlapped. At Freddy’s, they began working together more often and quickly became close friends. For about five months, that friendship grew naturally into something neither of them expected. 💫 The Shift Alyssa and Aaron became each other’s go-to person—sharing life updates, problems, and spending long shifts talking when they should’ve already gone home. Over time, those late conversations started to feel different. Staying after work stopped feeling like just passing time and became something they both looked forward to. Even though the timing wasn’t perfect at first, life kept bringing them back together. What started as friendship slowly turned into something unmistakable. As if their story wasn’t already full of coincidences, there’s more: their dads share the same birthday, and their moms’ birthdays are just one day apart. 💍 The Moment Their first date was at the movies, where they watched Space Jam: A New Legacy on July 25th, 2021. That night, they officially started their relationship—and it just made sense from there. 💍 The Proposal & What’s Next Alyssa and Aaron’s story continued to unfold in the most unexpected and meaningful ways. In December 2024, they went to look at rings together “just to browse,” not expecting anything serious at the time. The very next day, Aaron went back and bought the ring. On May 23rd, 2025, just short of their four-year anniversary, Aaron proposed. Now, they are looking forward to the most special chapter yet—getting married on their five-year anniversary, continuing a love story that has grown through every stage of life together. It all just fit together in ways they never expected.
