"Did you publish?" "No..." "Is that your water bottle?" "So I had this steak that was cooked on a 500 degree salt block!" These simple sentences started it all. Coupled with a love of Wegman's and the NY Giants, Dave and Alyssa's relationship began. As so many of these things often do, it started with friendship. Bagel Friday, GChat, texts and goofy Snapchats forged a strong connection. Dave knew early on that he was going to propose and Alyssa's upcoming birthday party was a perfect opportunity. Few people knew what was coming, but those that did were eagerly waiting for the big moment. Dave, sweating it out, was looking for the right moment. The opening presented itself after Corey presented an amazing Totoro cake and everyone sang Happy Birthday! Dave approached Alyssa and asked if she was embarrassed. Dave then said "Well, I'm going to make it worse. Will you marry me?" Fortunately she said yes, otherwise this would be a really weird website to make!
