Nolan and Alyssa both attended the University of Alabama. Cameron Hutchinson Alyssa’s Phi Mu sister told her she knew a another Charlotte freshman named Nolan and told her to friend request him on Facebook (because that used to be the cool thing to do). Long story short her sorority and his fraternity were paired for a rave themed party that upcoming Thursday night where they met and the rest is history ( they also have a picture to prove it! ) Thanks Cam :)

Alyssa’s family has been going to Bald Head Island for the last 10 years and it was here that Nolan wanted to ask her to marry him. It is a tradition on the last night of their beach trip they go out to dinner and take pictures by Old Baldy Lighthouse. After a Category 2 hurricane the first night, asking her parents for their permission, and holding onto the ring for the whole trip to wait until the very last night he was finally able to propose after 9 years of dating. She said yes!
