Who would have thought that it would take a pandemic for these two Chicagoans, who were living just a couple of blocks apart, to meet? In June 2020, with a bit of luck and coincidence, the pair connected through mutual friends. To no one's surprise, after a brief introduction, Ali cut right to the chase and asked Jason, "So, are you Jewish?" The rest was history. The two quickly began spending more and more time together, prompting Ali's grandma to suspect "someone was making her very happy these days.” After nearly two years of dating through COVID, Jason popped the question near a favorite spot from one of their first dates. And now we can't wait to celebrate with all of you!
