Noah and Alyssa met through mutual friends nearly five years ago, on Halloween night. Little did they know that date would hold significant meaning a few short years later. Kati, Alyssa’s childhood best friend, invited her to a Halloween party at Noah’s house... and to her surprise she went! Throughout that evening Noah and Alyssa shared casual conversation and thought nothing of it. Some time after that party is when Noah reached out to Alyssa via Facebook Messenger or “slid into her DMs” as kids are calling it these days. One thing you all should know about Alyssa is that she is VERY selective about everything, especially who she opens up her heart to. Thankfully Noah is very good with words and swept her off her feet. They messaged for months before finally meeting up for breakfast at a local diner and then headed back to Noahs to nap because they worked opposite shifts. Their schedules were tough but they made it work. They made time for each other no matter what, even if it was only enough time to nap before the other had to work. Noah will tell you “we stopped napping, started talking, and the rest is history”. Their connection was fast and obvious, to them and their families. They became best friends and soon started dating, on Halloween, 1 year after meeting. Time flew by and next thing they knew they were meeting each other's families, going on vacations, and eventually signing the lease to their first apartment together. They continued to build the foundation of their relationship through laughter and a few tears. They both learned the others quirks and kinks but still dedicated themselves to each other to nourish their blooming relationship. Within five months of living together Noah proposed! Without a doubt in her mind Alyssa said yes, but only after confirming Noah had her dad’s permission! Now here we are celebrating their love!
