we met in january 2017 during our 3rd year at loyola. we lived down the street from each other in rogers park, where we were introduced at a party at phil's place and not to brag (bragging) but it felt like we'd known each other for years. from that point on, we tried to nonchalantly see each other every day for the rest of the semester. either we'd run into each other in the library and decide to study together, or phil would "randomly" take the alley route past my apartment, where I "just so happened" to be sitting on the back porch... leaving us no choice but to drop everything and hang out for the rest of the day. moral of the story: take the alley route! read: allie route ;) get it? you laughed! we are so honored to share our love with the people who mean the most to us. this is a massively special occasion not only to celebrate our official merge after 8+ years, but also to celebrate the first time both of our families and friends will be together in one space. we aren't here for a long time but DEFINITELY A GOOD TIME!!!!!
