Alan Joseph Helimsky & Haley Johannah Vassiljev met each other at Rider University during their Freshman Orientation in 2014. They quickly became best friends. The summer before their senior year they decided to go to Los Angeles, CA together for Rider's very first Semester in LA program. After graduating in 2018, they moved to Brooklyn, NY to live together with their cat Bean. Alan proposed on December 27th, 2019 in the bedroom of their first apartment together. They spent that night dancing to Gogol Bordello at Webster Hall and visiting various "speak-easy's" in the city, celebrating with their friends.
