Having recently moved back from LA, Allie traveled in to Allston,MA to meet up with an old high school friend, Raven. The meetup spot ended up being John's apartment. John was convinced to "suit up" and joined the girls in going to a house party. The two were a beirut team not to be trifled with.

Allie and John decided to take skiing lessons having never been before and both being of an adventurous spirit. The two headed up to Wachusett mountain. After playing around for a while, doing some self teaching, and taking a beginner class, (Allison was top of the class, John a respectable third) it was about time to call it a day. Before they did, John insisted on doing one last run down the mountain (ie: bunny slope). He was confident that he was "getting pretty good," and insisted that Allie film him on the way down. John proceeded to have a somewhat perfect run down the hill and, locking eyes with Allie, came to a graceful stop. He cast his ski poles to the side and fell head over heels before getting on one knee and pulling a ring out of his breast pocket. He said "I've been falling head over heels since the day we met, so why stop now? Will you Marry me?" Slightly shocked from witnessing his fall, Allie said "Are you kidding me? followed quickly by "Yes!"
