Alison and Kevin's love story all began when they each decided to give Match.com a try. Shortly after signing up they found each other and easily connected over their shared alma mater, Virginia Tech. Their first date was October 14, 2016, where they bonded over wine, dinner, Hokie Football and everything else Blacksburg.

In a private moment at home after a wonderful dinner at their favorite restaurant, Kevin surprised Alison with the happiest moment of her life. Outside on the porch Kevin had decorated with roses, twinkle lights, and a banner reading "Alison will you marry me?" He asked Alison to come downstairs where she found him down on one knee with a ring. After shock and happy tears Alison finally managed to say "YES!"
