FISHBELLS ARE RINGING

👦🏻 😍 👧🏻

They met at a sports tournament in October 2012. Evan was refereeing, Ali was coaching her team. They were introduced briefly but didn't think much of it.

Ali's team held a fundraiser where you could buy a date with a team member. He remembered Ali from the tournament and thought "Okayyyyy, she cute!" and paid $20.

They met again at the national tournament. They managed to say hello to each other but ultimately had decided to rain check their date.

Evan convinced Ali to fly out to L.A. for a fantasy tournament. Neither won a trophy, but they both left with some arm candy 😉

After dating long distance for over a year, Evan moved to Chicago! They were finally in the same city.

Ali and Evan move in together with their cat, Dolce.

With two humans and now two cats, Evan and Ali (and Dolce and Pinot) move up the block to Wrigleyville. Both are obnoxious baseball fans, so they consider this to be peak #FishBell living.

Evan convinces Ali and their friends to go to brunch, but bails at the last minute. A few hours later, they go to Millennium Park to take photos but instead find Evan on one knee, with a ring. The rest is history.
