We met in early fall of 2017 when Grant was helping his dad in his antique booth at the Treasure Island TreasureFest and Alyssa was helping her friend in the booth next-door. Neither of us ended up being much help, as we spent most of the day chatting with each other. On the third date we bonded over our love of Russian baked goods, museums, and vinyl records… the rest was history. We live in our self renovated home in Daly City CA with our cat Bandit and our dutch shepherd puppy Stella.
Grant proposed on October 30, 2020 in the tunnel of trees in up-state Michigan. It was spontaneous, heartfelt, and beautiful.
