We met at the University of South Florida in the Beacon dorm. Our dorm rooms happened to be about 10 feet away from each other! Vince would often see Alyssa sitting in the “Pod” (common area) and would say hi until one of us decided to say more than just a hello!
Vince proposed to Alyssa on a Friday evening on the Saint Petersburg Pier. We had been to the area previously, but only recently had discovered the pier and restaurant/rooftop bar at the end of the pier. We both loved the area and the pier, and Vince loved the little boardwalks/walkways that jetted off the pier. Vince popped the question on one of those boardwalks!
