Yes... we met through a dating app, and it actually worked! When we swiped on each other, neither of us were expecting to match, but we did! Ally was instantly intrigued by Joao's name and his kind eyes and bright smile. Joao was taken aback by the photo of Ally standing on a rock. He immediately messaged "Did you jump?" And that's where the love story began. Ally knew that this was exactly the type of humor she wished for in a partner. We have matched each other's silliness since. Messages were exchanged back and forth after following each other on Instagram for weeks. We stayed in contact when Joao went to Brazil for 3 whole weeks... right after meeting... But when we were reunited, it was so worth it. It was love at first sight, or rather, love at first swipe.
