Our love story began with a picture — and a little trash talk. Connor had a photo on Hinge holding a golf club with the prompt “Together we can be bad at…” Naturally, Allyson saw her chance and responded: “I suck at golf, but I could definitely kick your ass at mini golf.” Challenge accepted. Their first date was on October 19, 2024, and yes — it was mini golf. Allyson was so nervous that she completely flubbed the first three holes, but somehow managed to pull off a win by the end (a fact she still reminds him of). But somewhere between the missed shots and playful teasing, something real started to grow. They fell fast — the kind of fast that feels easy, like coming home. That night was the start of something they both knew was different. Something lasting. Turns out, Connor isn’t great at mini-golf — but they’re both pretty amazing at love.
