How it all began

“I was wearing a Brixton hat, she asked me what team my hat was. She asked me to dance and I asked for her number instead.”

— Steven

“I had just gotten back from a monthlong work trip, and I thought he was cute so I struck up a conversation.”

— Alyssa

Alyssa & Steven

One warm summer night in 2016, Alyssa and Steven met in the garden patio section of a bar in Williamsburg called The Woods. Alyssa had just gotten back from a monthlong trip in Rio de Janeiro (2016 Olympics), Seattle, Berlin, Copenhagen, and Amsterdam. Steven was hanging out with his usual crew from Queens, NY. Fate had it so that they sat next to each other outside, and Alyssa struck up a conversation about his hat, “What team is on your hat?” to which Steven replied “What team?” and took it off in confusion just to check. It was a Brixton logo (or so they think they remember) a skateboarding company. And the rest is history!

Seven years, two apartments, and one house later, they’re happily living together near the beach in Island Park, Long Island.

And the rest is history

We can’t wait to celebrate our love and marriage with all of you!
