We met during our sophomore year of high school in Geometry class. Dan strategically turned in an assignment after the cute girl across the room to learn her name. After a few weeks of talking on the way to our next classes, Co-Best Man Kevin O'Neall helped speed up the process by exchanging our phone numbers. We officially started dating on December 6, 2011. The rest of high school was filled with ice cream dates, long Skype calls, and three years of math classes together. We grew together separately while in college - Allison at Indiana University and Dan at University of Illinois. We moved to Chicago after college, and made the most of living in the Lincoln Park area for six years. We've since learned we love camping, going on road trips, and share a love of animals. We get to incorporate all three with our dogs, Bella and Quinn. In early 2024, the four of us went to southern Indiana to see the Total Solar Eclipse. The night before the eclipse, Dan asked Allison to marry him. All of our favorite things were included in our engagement weekend. Later that year, we "settled down" in the suburbs. We love the life we're starting to build in New Lenox. We can't wait to start writing our next chapter in October, and are so grateful to have you help us celebrate!
