This story starts in the fall of 2010 in Rice Lake, Wisconsin, where our two unsuspecting soulmates lived in the same student housing. The two began hanging out a lot and became really good friends. A mutual friend by the name of Mat Wood was one of Morris’ roommates and he knew a secret. Morris had a crush on Allie. One evening, Mat asked Allie if she had any feelings for Morris. She told him she did but Mat did not share his secret with her. That night Mat walked into his own bedroom and yelled to Morris “Allie may or may not like you” as he shut his door. Morris was very curious as to why Mat would say that. The next day Allie told her friend Kasey that she liked Morris. Kasey’s boyfriend, Kyle, was on the basketball team with Morris. Later that night Kasey and Kyle were at Applebee’s and spotted that Morris’ was also there with a group of friends. Kasey and Kyle joined them and persuaded Morris to text Allie. They encouraged him to tell Allie that he liked her. Morris told them, “There’s was no way I could do that! What if I say that and she doesn’t have the same feelings?” So Kasey and Kyle told Morris to just do it and see what happens. Morris couldn’t do it, so he handed his phone to them and they texted Allie “I like you.. 😊”. Allie read the message and waited to respond for 30 minutes because she didn’t know if it was true or if he was just goofing around. Finally Allie responded with “I like you too.. 😊”. December 15th, Morris and Allie were watching TV when Morris asked her, “Well I like you and I think you like me, so do you want to be my girlfriend?”. As you can guess, Allie said yes!

Morris and Alexandria are big fans of the Milwaukee Bucks and enjoy going to a couple of games a year. After 8 years of dating Morris decided to make their next game extra special. He proposed during the mistletoe cam at the game in front of thousands of people. She of course said yes and they later realized that some of the proposal was even aired on live tv.
