Our hearts are full! Thank you for joining us as we begin forever together.

In July of 2023, fate (and a little app called Hinge😉) brought us together. After matching online, we decided to meet in person, and on August 7th, 2023, we had our very first date at California Pizza Kitchen in Manhattan Beach. We laughed over pizza, shared stories, and ended the evening with a quiet, heartwarming walk on the beach. That night, something clicked. It wasn’t just a good first date, it was the kind of connection that felt effortless, natural, and deeply right. As summer faded into fall, our bond grew stronger. On November 16, 2023, we officially became boyfriend and girlfriend. Not long after, we met each other’s families and began building a love rooted in friendship, mutual respect, and genuine joy. It didn’t take long before we both knew! This was it. We were falling in love, and it was the most beautiful kind. Then, in November of 2024, everything changed in the best way possible. On a rooftop restaurant in downtown San Diego, with the beautiful city and sun setting behind us, Patrick got down on one knee and asked Alyssa to spend forever with him. Of course Alyssa said yes. Right after the proposal, Alyssa was greeted by a room full of loved ones at her parents’ home for the most magical engagement celebration, a moment neither of us will ever forget. 🥹💍 In April of 2025, we moved to San Diego to start our next chapter together, a city we now call home, filled with excitement, dreams, a lot of trust in God, and a future we’re building hand in hand. 🌴 Now, as we prepare to say “I do” in November, our hearts are full of gratitude for this journey and the family we hope to start soon after. 🥰 We are so excited to celebrate our love with you and begin this new adventure, surrounded by the people who mean the most to us! xo
