Our story

We met in graduate school at USF when we sat next to each other in class. We quickly discovered that we are both twins, love sports, and have a connection to Michigan. We became instant friends and even trained & ran a half marathon together! After over 7 months of friend-zoning each other, we both thought we should give dating our best friend a try. Turns out dating your best friend is amazing! We both enjoyed living in Florida together for a while, until Doug moved to PA for his medical school program. We visited each other as often as we could, but long distance was difficult. Allise graduated from USF with a PT degree, then the following year Doug matched for residency at Vanderbilt. In March 2021 Doug proposed on the pedestrian bridge in Nashville, TN. We cannot wait to celebrate our wedding with you all!
