Our Story

How We Met

As spring showers give way to the sounds of lawnmowers in a Minnesotan June, one curious individual comes across a profile that catches his eye. In that profile, there is a picture of a girl at a concert, her smile beaming with excitement that can’t be contained in just one image. He thinks, “hmm, I wonder what concert she’s at?”. Desperate to know, he comments on the picture and hits send. He may not have known it at the time, but this moment would change both their lives.

She eventually gets his message and replies. As she scrolls through his profile, she thinks, “how many hairstyles does this guy have?”, after seeing his multiple hairstyles in the photos. They start chatting back and forth and quickly bond over their shared love for Pop Punk, especially “Great Escape” by Boys Like Girls. One date turns into another, and before long, they realize this just feels right.

With that song playing in the background, Toshiki and Allie made a great escape from singlehood and now they’re about to embark on another - transitioning from fiancés to husband and wife.
