We met somewhere amid the chaos of freshman year at Elon University, introduced by a mutual friend while at the gym, where Alyssa was working and JP was working out. We crossed paths here and there, but it wasn't until junior year - when JP also got a job with Campus Rec - that we started to spend more time together, and began to fall for each other. After making so many memories while dating throughout senior year, graduation marked the beginning of the long-distance era of our relationship, as JP returned to Delaware and Alyssa ventured off to India. Fast forward past multiple jobs, graduate school, and different cities: we moved into an apartment in Jersey City towards the end of summer 2018, excited to finally call the same place "home". JP proposed during a family trip to Bethany Beach over Labor Day Weekend 2019, which surprised Alyssa more than anything! We are so grateful to our friends and family who have helped our relationship flourish over the years, and are beyond excited to celebrate in September. With love, Alyssa + JP
