Our story began with a simple swipe right... Some awkward ice breaker questions... And a perfect first date on Main Street St. Charles (depending who you ask). From the very first date we became inseparable. We talked for hours, went on adventures and even a trip out of town. As time went on and we learned more about each other, we realize we could have crossed paths earlier in life: attending the same preschool at the same time, going to rival high schools, and playing sand volleyball at the same location. It seems like we were on collision course for years. After nine of months of dating we took a family trip to Hilton Head South Carolina and surprised Alyssa with a sunset Dolphin cruise. On a remote island, with some family members in attendance, Matthew dropped to a knee and asked Alyssa to spend forever together and the rest is history!
