Our Story
Alyssa & Nathan
~ Alyssa's POV ~
It all started with pizza.
Well… sort of.
In 2021, my mom worked at a local pizza shop and kept talking about this guy named
Nathan — how smart, kind, and down-to-earth he was. She was convinced we'd hit it off
and, naturally, I was skeptical.
When I asked what he liked to do for fun, she said, "He plays video games."
That was an instant nope from me.
Fast forward a few weeks, and I started noticing him working the front desk at the gym
I had just started going to. Eventually, I caved and asked him to make me a workout
plan — even though I was a tri-sport athlete in high school, I had to act like I had
no idea what I was doing just so he'd help me.
But somehow, I stopped focusing on the workouts… and started focusing on how Nathan
strutted around the gym like he owned the place (and looked dang good doing it).
We eventually started hanging out. Then dating (after he asked me out while we were
sitting on my brother's living room couch). And even though I was determined not to
say it first, I ended up being the one to say "I love you" first.
So, from pizza shop matchmaking to gym crushes and late nights binge-watching our
favorite Netflix series (the "I love you" happened halfway through season two of
Breaking Bad, by the way), we've built something real, steady, and full of
love.
Now, we can't wait to spend forever together — starting with a party surrounded by the
people we love most.
