Description

I am SO excited for you to hear today's love story with Alyssa and Colin. These two actually met through an online dating app (thank goodness for technology, am I right?) and started dating shortly after. Colin knew pretty early on that Alyssa was the one for him and he tells how he candidly told her "I love you" pretty early on in their relationship.

Colin and Alyssa talk about their engagement story, which almost got ruined when he had to do it a day sooner than planned! They share all of the mishaps that they faced from the proposal up to the wedding day including their rehearsal dinner location getting burned down from a fire and her wedding dress getting mysteriously stained.

In the end, Alyssa and Colin ended up with a truly magical and intimate wedding day despite the limitations caused by the COVID pandemic. The two share their advice for other couples who are wedding planning during COVID, what their wedding day was like, their plans for a future honeymoon and another wedding reception! 

Their love story:

• What Alyssa's life was like growing up
• Colin's childhood and what he was like growing up
• How Alyssa and Collin met on a dating app 
• Where they went on their first date 
• Their relationship progression and how they got more serious

• When they first told each other "I love you"
• The time leading up to the proposal and what he did to propose
• The issues they've run into during the wedding planning process

• Why they decided to still get married on their wedding day
