Ally & Jake met in 2015 working the front desk at 24 Hour Fitness. Jake had been working there for a while, so on Ally's first day, he walked up to the desk, popped his head out of a large towel bin and was asked to show her around and walk her through her first shift. The second his head popped up out of that bin, Ally knew something wonderful was about to happen! That Wednesday night, they talked the entire 5 hour shift and then some as they had to stay late to cut locks in the locker rooms (very glamorous).

Not long after they went on their first date at Millers, bonding over their love of mozzarella sticks and buffalo chicken. They went on to work together every Wednesday night after Ally's first day, often ending up at Millers after closing the gym and the rest is history!

Over the last few years, they've enjoyed spending their summers in Manasquan screaming to Cher and Celine Dion at Leggetts, going to plenty of Bon Jovi and country concerts together and stopping conversations mid sentence to point out cute dogs in the distance.

Jake proposed to Ally on April 25, 2020 while the two were on a "social distance date" in Ally's parents backyard. This was of course not the plan Jake had in mind but Ally was completely shocked and has never said "of course!" so fast in her life!

Since then, they've bought a house and adopted their own cute puppy, Lily, who they do not stop hugging all day long.

Lots has changed since they first met but two things have always stayed constant - their love and that they MUST order mozzarella sticks if they're on the menu. :)
