Ally and Joseph's love story began in August 2022, just a week before Ally's 22nd birthday. From the moment they met, they clicked instantly and became the best of friends. They shared laughter, secrets, and endless conversations that made their bond stronger with each passing day. 

Even when Ally was on a family vacation, she couldn't help but constantly check her phone, eagerly waiting for Joseph's messages. Little did she know that Joseph, who worked the night shift, would be the first to wish her a happy birthday, making her day even more special.

 As their friendship continued to grow, Ally and Joseph made a pact to never let anything ruin their precious bond. However, as time went on and their conversations became deeper and more meaningful, they both realized that their connection was evolving into something more than just friendship. They couldn't deny the feelings they had developed for each other.

 Their friendship, once meant to be solely platonic, could no longer contain the love that had blossomed between them. They spent hours together, carving pumpkins, exploring new places, and creating cherished memories. It became evident to both of them that their friendship was meant to be a beautiful relationship.

 On December 6, 2022, Ally and Joseph made it official and became a couple. The joy and excitement they felt were overwhelming, as they embarked on this new chapter of their lives together.

 Their love continued to grow and deepen over the next 10 months. Joseph knew that Ally was the one he wanted to spend the rest of his life with, and he wanted to make it official in a special way. He approached Ally's mother and grandmother, seeking their blessing during a family outing at Tanner’s Orchard. The apple orchard holds a special place in their hearts, as it was where they had shared countless happy moments together. On November 4, 2023, Joseph chose their spot at the pond in Miller Park Zoo to propose to Ally.

 As she walked towards the top of the bridge, unaware of the surprise waiting for her on the other side, Joseph got down on one knee and asked Ally to marry him. Overwhelmed with joy and love, Ally said yes without a moment's hesitation. As they turned around, they saw both of their families waiting with excitement, ready to celebrate their love.

 The pond at Miller Park Zoo became an even more special place for Ally and Joseph, as it marked the beginning of their journey towards a lifetime of love, happiness, and beautiful memories. They knew that their love story was just beginning, and they were filled with anticipation for the adventures that awaited them as they planned their future together.
