Our Story

Alisha and Jason met at Southern Connecticut State University on the front steps of the library introduced by a mutual friend in Spring of 2018. They had brief friendly encounters from Spring 2018 until January 2019, when they began chatting. Alisha slid into Jason's instagram DM's after he posted he was in the hospital, mentioning that he was in good hands because the nurse's name was Meredith referencing Grey's Anatomy. Which just so happened to be Alisha's favorite TV show. Alisha's DM said, "That's my favorite show, hope you're okay though". This sparked the start of the two of them talking. Ultimately, they made a bet that if Jason couldn't finish watching the 3 seasons of Grey's Anatomy he needed to catch up on it in two weeks before going back to school then he would take Alisha out for a coffee for their first date or if he could finish watching the 3 seasons in the two weeks then Alisha had to go over to his dorm room when school resumed to watch the first episode of The Office which happened to be Jason favorite TV show. Welp... Alisha lost that bet because little did she know Jason needed surgery and he had all the time in the world to binge watch TV.


Jason was adamant about taking Alisha out on a real date where he drove and everything before he would ask her to be his girlfriend. He finally got cleared from his surgery to drive again just in time for Valentine's Day. He took her out on their first official date on 2.14.19 to Wild Kanji, one of Jason's favorite sushi restaurants. Later on, they exchanged Valentine's gifts. Where Alisha gave Jason a jar that said “40 reasons that I love you” Jason read them aloud. One of them said, “I love you because I can see a future with you.” At that moment Jason turned to Alisha and said “I can see a future with you too, will you be my girlfriend.”


Flash-forward two quick years, they graduated college, got their first apartment together and adopted 3 cats. Alisha and Jason planned a vacation in May of 2021 to visit Alisha's family in South Carolina and then go to Disney World. Little did Alisha know that Jason was planning their engagement throughout this vacation. He showed the ring to Alisha's family and asked for their blessing. Then on their second day in Disney on 5.22.21 which happened to be Alisha's 24th birthday. Jason had a big surprise planned. He booked a Disney photographer and told her it was a photoshoot for her birthday. Well the photographer asked Alisha to turn around and look up at the castle to show off the minnie ears she had on. Meanwhile, Jason got down on one knee. The photographer asked Alisha to turn around and then Jason asked her to marry him. Shortly after they got back they began to plan their wedding. Now, here they are ready to tie the knot at Forevermore Farm on 11.11.23!!
