Steve and Allie first met at Elmira College in early 2017. Steve, a senior in college was interviewing younger students for a tour guide position in the admissions office, and Allie happened to be going through the interview process. Although sparks didn't fly in the middle of the interview, Steve and Allie would frequently see each other as Steve worked as a student employee, and would run the statistics program for Allie's Elmira College softball games. They were cordial, and friendly but didn't know each other as more than acquaintances. Steve later graduated from Elmira College that June and Steve and Allie didn't think of each other for years to come. Fast-forward to late 2020, Steve and Allie are in the same grad school program at Elmira College. Being two of the few students who had both gone to Elmira College as undergraduates and now were in a graduate program at the same school they quickly bonded over their shared experiences (with a little help of a dating app). THEN sparks flew, and the rest was history!
