Patrick and Allie's story began on an incredibly hot December day in Tallahassee, Florida at the 2021 Cross Country Club Nationals.

After both of the runners had finished their races, Pat saw a face he recognized - that of his college friend, Jarred’s, girlfriend, Michaela. Patrick soon realized there was an almost identical, taller clone, Alexandria (yes, that is her full name for those of you who don't know).

Allie asked Patrick to take a photo of the entire 2021 B.A.A. Women's XC team. Somehow, after many Michelob Ultras, and dance moves later that night at the after-party... Patrick found himself visiting Allie non-stop for the rest of the year in Boston.

Soon after, Patrick moved to Boston, and the two spent every weekend together: running, drinking coffee, visiting Michaela and Jarred in Salt Lake, fighting over board games. The adventures never stopped.

Later in the year, the couple moved in together in Beacon Hill, where they continued to run and do all that they enjoy in the beautiful, scenic city of Boston.

Patrick popped the question in Montana, in front of Emigrant Peak, where the Yellowstone River continued to flow strong and steady, as a symbol of their everlasting love. Huge THANK YOU to Aunt Ellie and Uncle John for their hospitality. 2 for 2 on engagements!

Join us September 27th, 2025 to witness the solidification of this relationship, and the many fun, run-filled adventures to come with this couple.

With all the love we can offer,

Pat & Allie
