Home for the Holidays

Anthony and Ally's love story began at an Orangetheory Moorestown Holiday Party. Ally was the sales associate closing the studio that night and arrived late to the holiday party. Anthony noticed when Ally walked in late, and offered to buy her a drink. That drink turned into an unconventional chat at the bar about how Ally's previous relationship had turned sour. After several days, Ally finally agreed to go on a real date with Anthony. Once she met Loki, Ally's heart was officially stolen. Three months later, the pandemic had changed their lives. After Philadelphia locked down, Ally and Anthony were destined to hang out with each other every single day. Shortly after, Ally moved in with Anthony into his apartment in Philadelphia. The two enjoyed long walks with Loki around Queen's Village, hikes in Wilkes Barre, and runs along the Penn's Landing Pier. After a year and a half of living with one another, Anthony had to PCS to Fort Leavenworth, Kansas to attend the Army Command and General Staff College while Ally had to stay in Philadelphia to finish law school. A year of distance may seem like it would pull a couple apart, but Ally and Anthony have only grown closer every day. On June 17, 2022, Anthony asked Ally to marry him at Penn's Landing Pier, right along their old run route.
