. In 1988, Allison & David’s parents met at their local neighborhood pool in Catonsville, MD. Allison and David were both on the swim team and attended the same elementary school. Their parents became best friends as the years went on. Allison and David went on family summer vacations together every year. The more time their families spent together, the more fond David and Allison grew of each other. . In 1993, Allison’s family moved to Wilmington, NC, but distance wasn't going to keep them apart. They saw each other every summer when their families would go to Myrtle Beach. When they were in high school, they decided to try a long distance relationship. They wrote letters to each other and talked on the phone often. Unfortunately it was very difficult at such a young age, and they both still had their whole lives ahead of them. So, they parted ways and moved on, not knowing what their future would hold. Allison was 16 and David was 17. . Eighteen years later, at the age of 34 and 35 they found their way back to each other. In February of 2018, David came to visit Allison for a weekend in Charlotte. After not seeing him for so many years, Allison knew she would either fall madly in love, or at least rekindle a life long friendship. The minute Allison saw David, it was love at first sight. She couldn't believe it. It was him! . That weekend, David told Allison he was in love with her and he knew his heart only belonged to her. At that moment, it was clear, they were going to be together forever! . #itwasalwaysyou
