How We Met

About 16 years ago...

From a Friday Free Night and a chance acorn fight, to long-distance love from college dorm rooms; cross-country flights between Chicago to San Francisco, to an intimate proposal in a California beach town—our story has been over 15 years in the making. Since the day we met, we've been inseparable, even when times were tough and thousands of miles came between us. What started at Culver with an unexpected introduction on a Friday night blossomed into something we could never have imagined. Allison showed up to hockey and baseball games, Kean to art shows and galleries. We graduated together, celebrated together, and stuck together when Allison left for MICA in Baltimore, and Kean attended Miami University in Ohio. Even with some years apart, as we earned our degrees and pursued our passions, it wouldn't be long before we reconnected and picked things up right where we left off. After college, Allison landed in Chicago, working to lay the foundations of a career in the arts and jewelry. Kean was in San Francisco, pursuing music production and building a brand as an artist and DJ. While distance made it difficult to visit each other with any frequency, we made it work through endless hours of Skype dates, all day, every day texting, and never-ending phone calls. As the old cliché goes—distance makes the heart grow fonder. In our case, this cliché certainly rang true. By 2015, 10 years after we first met, we were done with the distance and made a plan to finally be together in the same place. So, we packed up and headed to Hollywood, where we've been ever since. After 4 years of making memories in Los Angeles, we made another one on April 26, 2019 when Kean finally asked the question that Allison had been waiting to hear for years. After spending nearly half of our lives together, we're excited to finally say 'I do' and keep making memories together, forever. We can't wait to celebrate with you, our closest friends and family. See you in Culver. VI.XII.MMXXI
