It all began on the sand courts at Atlantic Beach Circle, where a shared love for beach volleyball brought Alyssa and Gavin together. Alyssa initially didn’t think much of it until she received a message from an unknown number complimenting her spikes. That unexpected text sparked a week of conversation, and soon the two were walking along the beach, getting to know each other beyond the game.
About a month after their first meeting, Alyssa and Gavin officially started dating. Over the following four years, their relationship deepened through long beach walks, countless volleyball matches, and their shared growth in faith. As they strengthened their bond as Christians and as partners, Atlantic Beach remained their special place.
Then, during a quiet picnic by the shore, Gavin asked the question that would begin their next chapter. Alyssa and Gavin are thrilled to celebrate their wedding surrounded by the friends and family who have supported them along the way.
