One may think it’s pretty strange to list your likes on your Bumble profile as funny little green ghouls and to mention how you strongly dislike people's knees, (like no really.. cover your knees up if you're going to be walking around everywhere) but this Its Always Sunny reference was Allie’s way of attracting the right personality. Allie and Pete's combined sense of humor and mutual swipes to the right is where this love story started.

Pete, while visiting friends in Tampa, was checking out his Bumble prospects when Allie decided to reach out (not a power move, its a Bumble requirement). After texting for about a month, they decided they wanted to meet each other in person. This was a big milestone, as Pete lived over 2 hours away and this was during the height of a global pandemic.

Pete suggested Top Golf but being the classy man he is, he did not make a reservation and was unable to secure a bay. Instead, they met at the good ol' Cheesecake Factory at the Brandon Mall. Pete’s first impression was that Allie had wonderful eyes and good taste in masks. Once seated they were able to remove their masks, and Allie realized Pete’s mumbles did not improve but at least he was cute. After a long lunch and a few more hours of laughter, they decided they were willing to risk Covid to see each other again.

The long-distance relationship didn't stop them and they spent almost every weekend together, either in Tampa or Lake Mary with so many adventures in between. After about a year, Pete moved to Tampa with Allie and Bella.
