We met through the Hinge dating app in October 2020. J.J. was living in Sacramento and Ally was in the Bay Area, but knew she would be moving back to her hometown soon. During a girls’ trip in Auburn, we matched, and Ally’s friends did most of the talking and picked the spot for our first date the following day. After a Halloween party where J.J. dressed as Colonel Sanders and Ally was Moira Rose (Schitt’s Creek), we became official and a month later, we were both living in Sacramento. On July 8, 2023, J.J. proposed at the beautiful Auberge du Soleil resort near Napa. We can’t wait to continue traveling together, speaking in movie quotes, rooting for the Sacramento Kings and the Fresno State Bulldogs, laughing non-stop through comedy shows and going to too many concerts.
