Allison's Version: "When I started my job at Equinox on Dartmouth Street in February 2016, I was given a list of members to reach out to and Adham just happened to be on that list. He was one of the only members that responded back to me and joked about the subject line that referenced a JayZ lyric. After a few months, he came into my office and I got to meet the man behind the email. We spoke about our most recent competitions in boxing and bodybuilding and found we had a lot in common. He left to go work out and I instantly regretted not asking him for his number. That same night - we matched and messaged one another on a dating app! He asked for my number to call and we spoke on the phone for a couple of hours. We ended the phone call with his plan of coming in to Equinox the next day. When he stopped in my office again the following day, he asked me out to dinner for our first date.” Adham's Version: "One day long ago, I received an email with a catchy little subject line... "Allow me to introduce myself". I was curious, so I figured I'd check out this semi-humorous author. Her pun was funny and catchy (who doesn't like Jay-Z-- to all my readers under the age of 35), so I figured I'd call her out on it while responding to her obvious SPAM email. It was either that, or tell her to take me off the list because I wasn't interested in Pilates and its physical trickery. After a volley of banter via email, I made it a point to meet her in person. Our first conversation in her office was interesting and engaging. I couldn't help but notice that she had turned a slight shade of red as the conversation progressed, and calling her out on it only intensified the color, OOOPS. That evening, whilst swiping through my various dating apps, I noticed that very same face in the queue. She had already liked me (I know, a bit aggressive), so I sent over a message to see if she remembered me. From there, we proceeded to go out on our first date, and the rest is history."

Our families gathered at the Kemon family's summer home on Lake Fairlee for the Fourth of July weekend. Adham tried his hardest to get Allison out on the lake and propose to her in their family row boat, but she had different plans. While cooking breakfast (and trying not to burn the bacon!) Adham surprised her with a ring and proposed to her in the kitchen. We're so excited to celebrate this next chapter in our lives with you. See you in Vermont!
