It all started in physical therapy school, where John and Allison were fast friends from the beginning — or at least Allison thought so. To this day, John still jokes that he didn’t even know she was in their class until year three. (In his defense… there were a lot of anatomy labs.)

By February of 2021, friendship turned into something more — right in the middle of COVID lockdowns, when they started dating. Then Allison’s dad caught COVID and she couldn’t go home so John suggested she stay the week at his place “just for the week.” Well, that week turned into forever because she never left.

The next few years were filled with adventures: hiking through the red rocks of Arizona and Utah, beach weekends in Montauk, and welcoming their first dog, Oliver — a lifelong dream of John’s finally come true.

Then, on a snowy ski trip to Mont Tremblant, John got down on one knee and asked Allison to spend forever with him.

Now, after 4 years of love, laughter, and plenty of dog walks, they’re planning the wedding of their dreams — and can’t wait to celebrate an unforgettable week in Tuscany this July with all their favorite people!
