Alli's Version:

I was with a couple friends and they didn't want to go out. I really wanted to go to a house party (good thing I did), so I called up a friend and we decided to go. As we walked in, I saw a bunch of tall boys in the corner of the kitchen and thought they were MSU, Mankato basketball players (lol). The boy in the middle with the cute smile was attractive. I kept looking over my shoulder at him. Finally, I went out on the deck to ask a friend who lived at the house if he knew who "that guy" was. We could see Levi through the window from the deck. My friend pointed directly at Levi and said "that guy?" Levi looked right at him pointing and I was MORTIFIED. I ran back inside the house and told my friend who came to the party with me what had just happened. All of a sudden, she said "well he's coming over here right now." Levi "accidentally" bumped into me and said "oh sorry about that. I'm Levi by the way." Immediately after we met, he started talking about how much he loved the Hawkeyes-- apparently he thought that was a good pick-up line?? I let him know right away that my dad probably wouldn't like him since he was a Husker fan. We talked throughout the party and ended up exchanging numbers. I remember every time we looked at each other that night I had a feeling I had never experienced. It felt like I had known him forever. After the party, he messaged me saying how much fun he had and how he wanted to see me again. However, I thought he was a player so I played hard to get for weeks. Finally, I gave him another chance and the rest is history...

Levi's Version:

I was looking to have a good time, per usual. I convinced my friends to go to a party even though they didn't want to. The party was rolling as we made our way to the back of the kitchen. After a few Busch's, I noticed a pretty, brown-haired girl looking over her shoulder at me. She then went outside where she was talking with a friend. He pointed at me through the window. I knew it was on from there. I cracked another Busch Light as she walked back toward me. Using my magic, I turned around, stuck my butt out, and bumped her. I quickly apologized and introduced myself. I told her I like the Hawkeyes. Unfortunately, she said her dad liked Nebraska. I could've stopped talking to her in that moment, but it was different. She had such a positive vibe, unlike most people associated with Nebraska. We talked for awhile and I ended up getting her number. My friend, Kyle, was a true wingman that day, helping me get Alli interested. I went home and messaged her asking her to go on a date sometime, which we finally did after I asked her out at least 15 times over 3 weeks. The rest is history...
