The couple met online in 2018 when Alyssa was on a layover in Orlando following a trip to Miami. Alyssa’s location soon updated to Texas when Joseph commented, “Please tell me you are on vacation." To his dismay Alyssa was born, raised, and living in Texas. This did not stop the couple from talking every day for months until Alyssa returned to Florida on a trip visiting her grandparents. One year later, Joseph was introduced to Alyssa’s family and her to his. Despite distance, a strenuous nursing school schedule, work, and a global pandemic the couple's relationship blossomed over 3 years. Following Alyssa’s graduation in 2021 a big move to Orlando, Florida was made where both she and Joseph now reside. Alyssa works as a Registered Nurse and Joseph as a Registered Pediatric Behavioral Technician. After 3 years of dating and 8 months of living together Joseph surprised Alyssa with his proposal on January 16th, 2022.
