In 2019, Alli and Ethan met in Pittsburgh through a mutual friend (thanks Jo!). At the time, Alli was beginning her nursing career and Ethan was pursuing his PharmD at the University of Pittsburgh. Alli and Ethan immediately hit it off on their first date to Noodlehead which became one of their favorite spots to eat as a couple. Shortly after, Ethan asked Alli to be his girlfriend at the famous Point State Park.

Over the next 3 years, Alli and Ethan created many memories together throughout Pittsburgh. Some of their favorites included renting a cabin at Oak Lodge, eating the ricotta cavatelli at Casbah, running the Pittsburgh half marathon and of course spending countless hours in the library studying together.

After graduating pharmacy school in 2022, Ethan moved to New Jersey for work while Alli remained in Pittsburgh to pursue her dream of becoming a CRNA. Despite being a 6 hour drive away from each other, their relationship only grew stronger.

In December 2023, Alli graduated from CRNA school and moved into an apartment with Ethan in Englewood, NJ where they are still living today!

On February 16th, Ethan pulled off the ultimate surprise by proposing to Alli. She of course said Yes! Alli and Ethan are so excited to get married and start this next chapter of their life together surrounded by their family and friends!
