Allie and Clark met back in early high school, where they crossed paths at a few different extracurricular school activities, or at mutual friends get-togethers. Allie caught Clark's eye, and he tried to make conversation with her over Snapchat of course (kids these days!), but Allie was not having it. At that time, Allie was pretty set on her rule against dating younger guys, and with neither of them having their driver’s licenses, it just didn’t seem like the right time.

A few years pass by, and Allie kept following Clark on social media. She could not help but notice how Clark had grown into the kind of guy she’d always imagined as her future partner. Tall, dark and handsome, and it really helped his case that he was a football player too!

Everything changed in the summer of 2018 when Clark befriended Caroline, one of Allie’s best friends and future bridesmaids. Caroline put in a good word to Allie for Clark, and soon enough Allie and Clark were messaging back and forth again (once again, on Snapchat...)

Even with their connection growing, Allie kept finding excuses not to go on a date, often saying she was too busy with her part-time lifeguarding job. In reality, she had just never been on a date with a guy and was terrified. Finally, Allie agreed on a date to meet up in August 2018. They chose a local Mexican restaurant that turned out to be a complete disaster. The food was so bad that Allie couldn’t help but worry it might set a terrible precedent for their relationship. Spoiler alert: it didn’t!

On September 6, 2018, Clark asked Allie to be his girlfriend, marking a day that would become pivotal in their love story. Fast forward six years, and that same date would turn into an unforgettable proposal at his grandparents beautiful lake house, and soon, the same date they’ll say “I do”, just seven years later!

Their love story is packed with unforgettable moments: from attending each other’s junior and senior proms, to countless Sonic slushie runs during COVID, tons of mountain and beach adventures, and cheering for their college team—Go Niners! They even welcomed their adorable black Labrador, Ranger, into the mix. Through all of it, they’ve created a life full of laughter and joy, surrounded by the best family and friends.

As they gear up for this upcoming chapter as husband and wife, Allie and Clark feel incredibly lucky for every adventure they’ve shared. They’ve learned that the best memories are the ones they create together, and they can’t wait to celebrate with all who have been part of their journey.

Join them on September 6, 2025, as they say “I do” and kick off the next exciting chapter of their lives together!
