Prom: a rite of teenage passage that is well documented throughout many 90s chick flicks and is the first instance where a girl begins searching for “the dress”. But for Abby and Dylan, prom was much more than a right of passage or a chance to wear “the dress”, for them, it was the beginning of everything. Actually the start of their beginning was wrestling where Dylan, a wrestler, had the innate ability to make one of the team managers, Abby, laugh.With prom quickly approaching, Abby couldn’t help but realize that this silly funny guy would be the perfect date. Being the sufficient and determined woman she is, Abby asked Dylan to be her date and he, being the smart man he is, said yes. While wrestling and prom mark the beginning of their story, a plethora of fun times spurred their connection.Leading up to her departure for college, Abby and Dylan spent their time watching movies and being outside together. While their connection was undeniable, Abby left for college in the fall and insisted she and Dylan were just friends.Yet during her first semester away, they talked nonstop and when she returned for winter break they were able to revisit their roots: wrestling. They went to a wrestling match together where Abby told Dylan he needed to make things official before she went back to college. For the second time, being the smart man he is, Dylan agreed and made Abby his girlfriend. Over the next four years, they maintained a long-distance relationship. Once Abby landed her nuclear medicine internship in Wisconsin, they were able to end their long-distance streak and began living together.Confident in their relationship and the future, they then moved to Tennessee to embark on their own professional opportunities while enjoying traveling and adventuring together (and with River). In keeping with the traveling and adventure theme, Dylan made things truly official when he proposed to Abby on top of Rockefeller in NYC. This time, Abby wasn’t the one to ask.
