Alana and Steve first met in 2012 when he gave her and some friends a ride to her dorm room during Hurricane Sandy. Forgetting their encounter on the night of the hurricane, they met again a few months later in the UConn library. They immediately connected over their love for nature, dystopian science fiction, and travel. Throughout the years Alana and Steve have traveled to and lived in many cities, states and countries. They are true partners in crime, supporting each other through multiple degrees, jobs, and crazy adventures. In June 2017 they officially tied the knot in an intimate ceremony with their families. After spending the past year settling into their new jobs and building a new home in Rhode Island, Alana and Steve are thrilled to finally celebrate their love with all of their friends and family!
