They met on a dating app, and it was the first step in Alyssa and Christian's blossoming romance. They connected over their same sports-friend circles on Hinge and hit it off instantly. They had been exchanging messages and texts for quite some time before ultimately meeting in person, and upon doing so, they realized they were destined for one another.

As the years went, their bond only strengthened. Since Alyssa's family owns a mountain cottage in Vermont, it was a natural choice for a summer vacation destination. Their officiant and his fiancée, as well as his twin brother and his girlfriend, joined them for the hike up Mt. Mansfield. Alyssa had no idea that their hike would double as the location for her future husband's proposal. Upon reaching the pinnacle, Christian dropped down on one knee and asked Alyssa to spend the rest of her life with him.

Alyssa and Christian wanted their wedding to be simple and convenient for their guests, so they held it close to home. They went for a modern take on the traditional garden wedding. They set up a fire pit, two food trucks, and an espresso bar in the hills, turning the backyard into an enormous and playful setting complete with a tent for the ceremony, a tent for dancing, a tent for games, and a tent to relax in. They were particularly taken with the farm's and barn's upscale rustic ambience.

The day they tied the knot was nothing short of a fairy tale. The love in their eyes was palpable as they exchanged vows under a gorgeous tent in front of their loved ones. There were lots of happy tears, hugs, and dances at the reception. They looked absolutely stunning as they danced their first dance as husband and wife. The couple's fun and romantic personalities were a perfect match for the backyard's newfound elegance and romance.

The romance between Alyssa and Christian is one for the ages; it exemplifies how happiness may be discovered in the unlikeliest of settings. It was a privilege to celebrate this joyous occasion with them.
