It all started with a swipe right and a global pandemic. Who knew that such an unlikely combination could lead to love?! Certainly not Allison, a Jersey girl through and through, and definitely not Justin, a Florida boy making his way in the big city. But fate, it seems, had other plans...

Their first date was short and sweet – a FaceTime chat that sparked an undeniable connection. Eager to meet in person, they braved the chilly December air and headed to Papperdella, an Italian restaurant on the Upper West Side. Over plates of pasta and glasses of wine, they discovered a shared love of laughter, adventure, and defying the odds.

Central Park quickly became their sanctuary, a halfway point between their apartments where they could get some fresh air and escape apartment lockdown. Frisbee Hill, with its wide open space and playful energy, was their spot. It was there that Justin truly won over Allison's heart... and that of her adorable dog, Markley. (Let's be honest, Markley's approval was the real test.)

Turns out, dating in a world with limited activities is a pretty good test of compatibility. As the world slowly opened up, their love blossomed amidst a backdrop of travel and exploration. They strolled hand-in-hand through the historic streets of London, relaxed on the beaches of Mexico, and marveled at the natural wonders of Yellowstone and Zion National Parks. Justin knew Allison was the one when he discovered that she was completely in her element at their first music festival together.

And then, on a beautiful evening on September 14, 2024, back in their beloved Central Park, Justin got down on one knee. With the backdrop of the Bow Bridge and park-goers as their witness, he asked Allison to be his wife. (Spoiler alert: she said yes!) They celebrated their engagement with a once-in-a-lifetime trip to Japan.

Now, they're ready to embark on their greatest adventure yet – marriage! Join them as they say "I do" and celebrate a love story that bloomed against all odds, proving that sometimes, even a global pandemic can't stop true love from finding its way.
