In 2012, Allison was completing her nursing program at Mizzou while Phil was working in his hometown of Columbia. Allison was feeling a little bored, so she decided to try out online dating. Phil was also a member of the online dating game and was looking for the one. Just when Allison thought all hope was lost, she came across a message from a boy asking her what she thought of Christian Watford's game winning shot in the IU vs Kentucky basketball game. She knew immediately that she had to learn more about this man. They soon had their first date at the Heidelburg in Columbia. That summer, they enjoyed MU baseball games, Sparky's ice cream, and Allison's first rodeo experience at the Missouri State Fair. Eight years later, they still enjoy going on adventures together, and can't wait to see what the future holds!
Phil and Allison tied the knot in a beautiful backyard ceremony on May 1st, 2021, surrounded by their closest family and friends. They hope to share some of the details with you at the reception. Now that it is safe to do so, they cannot wait to celebrate with all of their friends and family. Come prepared to eat, drink, dance, and have fun!
