It all began for Mike and Alyssa in February 2015 after two right swipes, which led them to a match on Tinder! After a few weeks of texting and making sure they weren’t being catfished, Mike and Alyssa decided to go on a first date. Mike didn’t know where he should take Alyssa for their first dinner together so he asked her a series of questions. “Left or right?” “Pick a number one through four.” “Left or right?” Alyssa picked right, four, and right. Unsure where they would end up, Mike turned right onto the main road and picked the fourth restaurant on the right. They had dinner at a nice Italian restaurant, Anthony’s of Guilford in Connecticut, and went to the movies afterward to see “American Sniper”. They hit it off right away and Alyssa texted him later that night to plan their second date. From that moment on, not a day went by where they didn’t talk or see each other. On the night of June 27, 2015, Mike popped the question during a thunderstorm on the beach. Nearly a year and half later, Mike and Alyssa decided to be married in Marco Island, a special location that Alyssa’s family often visited since she was a little girl. The day they became husband and wife was the most magical and memorable day of their lives. They were thankful to be surrounded by family and friends who traveled far distances to support them during this special occasion. It was a perfect day, one they will never forget!
