Wanderlust

In the summer of 2015, Ally and Tommy's paths converged on a dusty kickball field under the warm sun. Both signed up for a beer kickball league, little did they know this would mark the beginning of a beautiful journey together.


Ally, with her infectious laughter and vibrant personality, caught Tommy's eye at the Mt. Hope Distillery where the team met before the game. Ally couldn't help but be impressed by Tommy's wicked kick and outfield skills. After the game, Tommy mustered up the courage to ask Ally for her phone number when they were playing foosball together at the bar, Salinger's.


In 2019, they decided to take a significant step in their relationship and moved in together. They found a cozy apartment in Brighton near Ellison Park and loved living there for a few years.


As 2021 rolled around, Ally and Tommy felt the itch for a new adventure. One evening after a few drinks and a spontaneous conversation, they decided to buy an RV on a whim.


The idea of traveling the country together in their own motorhome sounded like a dream come true. They spent weeks preparing for their new life on the road, selling belongings, saving money, and getting the RV ready for their grand adventure.


It was truly a leap of faith, and they set off on their cross-country journey, exploring the diverse landscapes and cultures of the United States. From the rugged Rocky Mountains to the charming towns along the East Coast, Tommy and Ally cherished every moment together.


Their travels led them through the Mojave Desert, a place where Ally and Tommy never imagined they would find their furry companion, Koda. They decided to give him a loving home, and Koda became an inseparable part of their journey.


In northern California, they stumbled upon a picturesque winery nestled among rolling vineyards, Ally and Tommy, always up for new experiences decided to work there for awhile. They learned about winemaking, met some amazing friends, and loved the serene countryside life.


Their odyssey culminated in an unforgettable moment amidst the towering Redwoods on December 26th, 2022. With the gentle sounds of the forest, and the soft light filtering through the ancient trees, Tommy got down on one knee and proposed to Ally.


As the year 2023 began, Ally and Tommy, now engaged, continued their travels back home to NY. Their journey wasn't just about the places they visited but the memories they created together. Ally and Tommy's love story, which began on a kickball field, had evolved into an extraordinary adventure. They now they dream of a shared future of more adventures, and a lifetime of love and happiness together.
