How They Describe Each Other
Aaron: Alyssa is outgoing, a super great friend, and lots of fun to be around. I love her smile, the way she treats those around her and how she pours her heart out into everything that she does.
Alyssa: I would describe Aaron as handsome, loyal, supportive and good. His innate goodness is what I admire the most about him and its the foundation of our relationship. He's also a goofball at heart. I love that he embraces challenges in our relationship as an opportunity for growth. He wants the best for us and is willing to put in the work. I also love the way he shows up for the people around him, especially me.

How They Knew
Aaron: When I realized I couldn't see my future spent with anyone else, and I wanted to spend all of my time with her.
Alyssa: I was having a deep conversation with God during a rough patch in our relationship. I wasn't sure weather we should give up on our relationship or fight through it. God didn't give me a direct "yes or no" answer. God gave me the reality that ALL relationships take work and in that moment I realized that Aaron was that person I wanted to do that work with.

The Wedding Day
Alyssa and Aaron were married in October 2020 at the Myriad Botanical Gardens in OKC in a COVID-aware wedding ceremony. They were surrounded by a small number of family and friends and their day was filled with love, joy, and so many beautiful touches. I am so happy I got to witness their union and be a part of their big day!
