Originating from the charming town of Raton, NM, our families shared a connection. Our journey commenced in elementary school, where a friendship gradually blossomed into dating in high school. Throughout high school, we became inseparable, attending proms and championing each other's endeavors, proudly leading the way together through sports and academics.

Transitioning to UNM, Dante pursued his passion for baseball as the UNM Baseball Manager, while Alyssa pursued her literary aspirations as editor in chief of a literary magazine. As the world navigated the challenges of the pandemic, our bond grew even stronger, culminating in Dante's MBA and Alyssa's law degree.

In the spring of 2022, after 9 years of dating, Dante orchestrated a breathtaking proposal in San Diego, capturing the essence of our love against the backdrop of a sunset at Coronado Beach.

Beyond our shared experiences, we found common ground in our love for baseball and our deep affection for animals. Together, we have welcomed our beloved dogs Zo and Izzy, tortoise, Wrigley, and cat, Zara into our lives.

Yet, amidst all the adventures and milestones, our greatest joy lies in simply being together, whether out on the golf course, at a sporting event, or simply cozying up at home. 

 

As we embark on this beautiful journey together, we're profoundly grateful for the love and support of our families and friends.
