There was always an invisible string between Ally and Christian. Whether it was going to hockey tournaments on Martha's Vineyard, going to the same high school, or spending time in the same field hockey/hockey friend group in college, the two of them were destined to be together.

Neither Christian nor Ally was planning to go to the "pink party" during Bridgewater State's homecoming in October of 2017, but they were both persuaded by their teammates to go out and have some fun. That night (after crossing paths so many times before), Ally noticed Christian was at the same party and decided to reconnect with a familiar face. After catching up for hours, Christian was sure to walk Ally back to her dorm safely. That's when they exchanged Snapchats, and the rest was history!

After texting day in and day out and going on dates to Panera and the movies, Christian asked Ally to be his girlfriend on November 8, 2017. They spent the next six years competing in intense mini-golf matches, going on trips to the Cape and New Hampshire together, having sushi dates, and supporting each other through school. Oh, and of course, Ally finally dragged Christian down to Disney (and we all know he likes going now too)!

Eventually, Christian proposed to Ally at Green Harbor Beach, on November 26, 2023, and the answer was an easy YES!
