Cole and Ally’s paths crossed many times at YSU, thanks to Greek Life. They knew of each other but never really talked—except for a few memorable moments. One time, Cole quite literally swept Ally off her feet, carrying her on stage at an event. Another time, Ally casually mentioned to a mutual friend that she thought Cole was cute (spoiler: she was right).

It wasn’t until after college that they truly connected and became friends first. Ally knew almost instantly that Cole was her person. A few months later, Cole caught up, and they’ve been inseparable ever since—proof that sometimes the best love stories just need the right timing.
