Aidan and Alyssa met while both attending Walsh University in North Canton, OH. Their paths did not cross until one night in December of 2017 at an 'Ugly Christmas Sweater' party on campus. No, Aidan was not wearing a Christmas sweater, but Alyssa wore a festive shirt and reindeer sparkly glasses. Alyssa saw Aidan arrive, talking and laughing with friends and was immediately drawn to him. After many minutes of contemplation, Alyssa gathered up the courage, and walked straight up to Aidan. "Can I take a picture of you wearing these glasses?" Aidan didn't hesitate grabbing the glasses and posing for a picture with his friend. The silly reindeer sparkly glasses successfully started a conversation and the two continued talking and getting to know each other for the rest of the party. Aidan and Alyssa were inseparable ever since and began officially dating January 27, 2018.
