Their love story began online a few years ago, and one of the first things they bonded over was their shared passion for animals. Together, they have five cats and one energetic dog—all of their cats are rescues, including two adopted from Norfolk Animal Care Center (NACC). Alissa has also volunteered as a dog caretaker and fostered NACC pets, making animal welfare a cause close to their hearts.

 

As they begin this exciting new chapter, they want to celebrate in a meaningful way. Alissa shares, “We are fortunate enough to have everything we need for a wonderful life together, and giving back to our community is important to us. Instead of a wedding registry, we’re asking our loved ones to donate to a nonprofit that means so much to us. Choosing NACC for our wedding donations was an easy decision!”
