11.3.17 – On our first date, it took us less than a minute to realize that the other person was not just some weirdo found on a dating app and this time was going to be different. After 5 hours of chatting nonstop, our lives were changed forever! 3.2.19 - We convinced ourselves Chicago was kind of starting to defrost from winter and thought it would be warm enough to take our favorite walk through Lincoln Park (it was actually freezing!). Alan was acting strange all day taking pictures of the statues to buy time, while Erin was cold and just wanted to go home for a nap. He strongly insisted to go on a walk in this horrible weather, and little did he know, she saw the shape of the ring box in his pocket 5 min before he got down on one knee. When Alan finally popped the question, she said “DUH!” 4.26.19 – In order to kick start Alan’s green card process, we decided to say “I Do” very soon after getting engaged. We were married in a small ceremony at Erin’s church in Chicago, with just our parents and siblings in attendance. It was the most wonderful intimate celebration! 4.26.20 - We are BEYOND thrilled to be celebrating our first anniversary by recreating our wedding day with our dearest family and friends from all over the world! We can't wait to see you!!
