It was May 2020... a global pandemic was happening and two redheads swiped right on Bumble where Alanna kicked off the convo with "I love dancing too, have you ever heard of a baby freeze?" And from that moment, something clicked. Maybe not love at first message (lol but kind of). After a week of talking nonstop, we decided to meet at a park for what we called a “covid-safe” first date. We hiked, talked for hours, shared some laughs, and ended up kicking around a soccer ball like two kids just having fun. Date #2 was a bike ride along Boathouse Row where Frank confidently sped a mile ahead the entire time, insisting it was “just a light ride” 🤣. Competitive energy in our relationship became a theme from there 😜 Soon, we realized how alike we were in all the best ways. We bonded over our shared love of video games, especially Mario Party on N64 (things got intense). We worked out together, went on hikes, found the best food spots, had the same silly humor, enjoyed goofing off together, and loved just being active + around each other. Frank started out a “dog guy,” but Alanna’s Maine Coon cats had other plans. It didn’t take long before he became the best cat dad around, fully converted and proud of it 🐈 one big happy fam! In October 2021, we moved into our first apartment together in Conshohocken and made it ours ~ cozy and full of life with our two fur babies. By November 2024, we bought our first home in Glenside, PA and turned it into the kind of home we used to dream about 🥹 Then, on our 5 year anniversary (5/17/2025), Frank proposed at our favorite winery in the most beautiful way and now, we’re planning our wedding for 10/16/2026! Ready to celebrate with all the people who’ve been part of our story 💃🏼 We are so incredibly excited for this next chapter and can't wait to celebrate with you!! ~two redheads, same height, same energy, same gym obsession... always and forever (A&F) ❤️
While we adore your children, we've decided to keep our wedding an adults-only (21+) celebration. We hope this gives everyone the chance to celebrate with us fully and maybe even enjoy a well-deserved night off ;)
