A strong relationship can withstand the test of distance and time. Within that strength lies the love that motivates two people to stay together, knowing that their sacrifice will pay off even better than they ever planned. This is the story of Alyssa and Alex, who stayed patient for almost five years of long distance dating, knowing that it would end up in the best way possible.
They met in college at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute at the beginning of Alyssa’s junior year and Alex’s senior year. The pair spent two years together, and after college decided to work hard to pursue their career goals, which ultimately created a long distance situation. Alex moved to Queens, and Alyssa attended dental school in Connecticut. This distance remained for almost 5 years. However, looking back on it, Alyssa and Alex both feel that while long distance is definitely a test for a relationship, they knew they were investing in their future and would be together. They were finally reunited geographically when Alyssa matched at Montefiore for her orthodontic residency program, and the two moved to Westchester together in 2013.
Yes, Alyssa is this STUNNING despite strong winds on the water!
The two then set up a beautiful Tuscan picnic on the dock – what a dream.
