Our Love Story

Tristan and Alaina are the epitome of a modern romance having met through an online dating app in 2015. They might have missed each other entirely if it hadn't been for an obscure book series that Tristan had listed on his profile which made Alaina curious enough to reach out. After bonding over a love of literature, (Hey look! Now you know why that's the wedding theme!) they went on their first date. Soon coffee turned into a movie, a movie into dinner, dinner into dessert, & 9 hours later the two were smitten. Both admitted later they closed their online dating profiles only days later as they had no interest in seeing other people. They had a whirlwind romance with exciting dates that included flambe desserts, skydiving, & meeting each others families, all the while knowing that they had both found something special in each other. Sadly Alaina was moving away in order to pursue her dream of being a teacher. Tristan knew what he wanted however, so he took a leap of faith, packed up everything he had & followed her. They stayed together through dingy apartments, career changes, & even brought a Golden Retriever puppy named Rory into their lives in 2018. Just short of 5 years together on the night of August 15th 2019, Tristan brought Alaina to her second favorite thing in life after books, a Broadway show! Little did she know that Tristan planned to ask her a very important question that night... As the play began to end, Tristan insisted they take a photo in front of the stage once the audience had left. As the photo flashed she saw him get down on one knee...& promptly burst into tears. Thankfully, he was quite understanding & with an exquisitely designed ring from him placed on her finger, they were engaged to be married. Their love story wouldn't be complete without those of you who they love witnessing their marriage, so we dearly hope you can all attend in order to celebrate the love of these two people who were lucky enough to find each other.
