Allie and Karl both swiped right on Bumble ~ everyone's favorite dating app ;) ~ one day in March 2022. After a week of fun and flirty messaging, we finally met in person at Punch Bowl Social. The night flew by as we shared stories of our lives and dreams, connecting over common memories of long volleyball trips, summer days spent on the lake, and a love for coffee (finding out that Karl made cortados every morning with his espresso machine was enough to convince Allie a second date was in order!). ♡
Falling in love was just how they write in the books, full of excitement, discovery, and adventure. "Karl, everything about you drew me in. The way your blue eyes sparkle when you’re trying to make me laugh, your stellar dance moves, your genuine excitement for life, and your commitment to always showing up as your most authentic self. Your hugs feel like home and I am so lucky to call you mine.” xoxo, Allie Some of our favorite moments together include morning sunrises over the water, bonfires with s’mores, a ski trip to Aspen, coffee shops and beach walks, our engagement on the cliff side in San Clemente, and adding a four-legged friend to our family. "I fell in love with you, Allie, because of your warm smile and the way your laughter lights up a room. Your eyes, so full of kindness and wonder, make every day feel special. You find joy in the little things, like our shared jokes and quiet, cuddly, moments together. Being with you feels like home, and your genuine love makes me feel truly happy. It’s your simple charm and the way you make me feel loved that made me realize I never want to be without you. " - Karl After saying “I do”, we look forward to a honeymoon in Greece and continuing to create new memories as we build our lives together.
