Our love story started one night at Crush in Milford, where we were introduced by mutual friends. We connected over our shared passion of traveling the world and volunteering. Rob sharing about his experience traveling to China to work with children with mental disabilities, and Alyssa sharing about her trip to Thailand, teaching English to kindergarteners. We both knew our connection was special from the start; it was just... easy. Fast forward to the following weekend, where we ran into each other downtown Milford on Thanksgiving Eve. Rob will say that Alyssa was the one who "chased after him" but we both know the feeling was very mutual, and that we could not keep away from each other. We shared our first kiss that night, at 3am, when we were both stranded outside, in the freezing cold, as all of the bars were closed and both of our phones were dead, making it nearly impossible to call an Uber. Standing outside, shivering and talking, Alyssa said to Rob, "Are you gonna kiss me now or what?" and the rest is history.
