Alyssa and Hayden’s adventure started back in 2011, when a New Years ski trip happened to bring them together. At the time, Hayden was a junior at Pittsfield High, gearing up to graduate in 2012, while Alyssa was in her sophomore year at Taconic High School. Life’s little twists soon led them both to High Point University, where they got to keep growing side by side. College was full of new adventures, new friendships, and all the little moments that helped them become not just stronger as individuals, but closer as a couple. Fast forward to 2019—Alyssa packed up and moved to Charleston to finally be with Hayden. Since then, they’ve been building a cozy, love-filled life in Hanahan, South Carolina. These days, their home is brightened by the wagging tail of their sweet pup, River, and their hearts are full as they look forward to all the chapters still waiting to be written. Pittsfield will always be “home” for us. It’s where our story began, where we grew up, and where so many of our favorite memories were made. Because of that, it only felt right to celebrate the start of this new chapter in the same place where it all started.
