We're Getting Married!

The story of Alyssa and Brendan begins in high school, where after three years, Brendan confessed his love to Alyssa in the summer of 2013. After some time that summer, Brendan convinced Alyssa to go on a date. Eventually, they went to their senior prom together at Florentine Gardens. Neither of them had the faintest clue that they would be back there, nine years later, for their wedding. Since 2013, Brendan and Alyssa’s love and commitment to each other has grown. The couple shared so many memories together including many summers in Beach Haven, NJ, trips down to Isle of Palm, SC, countless flights from Providence to South Bend while attending separate colleges and many days in a tiny NYC apartment where they’ve settled today. They've been lucky enough to travel together to Dublin, Amsterdam, Spain, Portugal and hike the Swiss Alps together.

In August 2021, Brendan took Alyssa on a walk to the Laurelwood Botanical Gardens, a place they both loved. He had set up a gazebo with roses and pictures of their eight years together and proposed to Alyssa asking if they could spend the rest of their lives together. With their siblings watching, Alyssa said yes! They returned home to celebrate with their family and friends. We are so excited to celebrate our love with our family and friends who mean so much to us.
