We met at the wedding of Grace & Tim Polelle on New Year's Eve 2022. Grace is one of Ally's best friends from grade school, and Tim is one of Jim's best friends from college. We sat next to each other at the rehearsal dinner the night before the wedding, although Jimmy likes to joke that Ally gave him the cold shoulder. We walked down the aisle together, but it wasn't until the end of the wedding reception that Jimmy struck up a conversation with Ally on the dance floor. After the wedding, our friend groups continued to ring in the new year together. We spent the next few hours talking about everything and anything. When a friendly game of pool took place, Jimmy tried to show Ally a few tips and tricks- a classic move. At the end of the night, as Ally was driving home, a little thought popped through her mind saying "I think I'm gonna marry that guy.".. turns out she was right! With four hours and 263 miles between us; it wasn't all smooth sailing. We navigated the long distance for a year and a half and committed to each other early on that we were in it for the long haul! We are so excited to begin this new chapter that we have been dreaming of for so long, thank you for celebrating with us!
