We’re so excited to have you with us for our special day!

We met in high school when Ethan moved with his dad to Illinois! Ethan’s brother, Cody, worked with the Jacksonville High School Drumline which worked closely with the Colorguard, of which Alyssa was a part of! After meeting each other at weekly practices, Alyssa and Ethan became close friends. About a year went by and they began dating on August 7, 2016!

After Alyssa graduated high school in 2019, she moved to St. Louis for college. Ethan began working on the river in April of 2020, and that summer she and Ethan got their first official apartment together in Kirkwood, Missouri! They adopted one dog, Georgie, to join them and their cat, Lana. In October of 2020, Alyssa and Ethan began looking to purchase their own home. They became first time homeowners in December of 2020!

Ethan proposed to Alyssa on Valentine’s Day of 2021 while they were in California visiting family! After having dinner that evening at one of their favorite restaurants, Ethan proposed over dessert! After Alyssa said yes, they went back to the house and celebrated their engagement and her birthday with family and friends!
