Allyson and I met in 2012 working together at a small startup in SF. Allyson was the office manager and I was a recruiter. I happened to sit right by the front door and she would walk up and down the hallway multiple times a day. One too many times she would catch me staring at her. With my charm, we became fast friends and then started casually dating. After some start and stop, I decided to move to NYC. Allyson quickly realized she couldn't live without me and chased after me. We dated for three years long distance with many trips across the country and making any excuse to take vacations. I decided to move back to SF and a year later we moved in together. We thought this was a big step but 2.5 months later Covid hit and we found ourselves spending every second together. lf living and working together non-stop without killing each other isn't true love, I don't know what is. But then I convinced Allyson to get our true love Cleopatra, our beautiful dog. So after many years of dating, through the ups and the downs, we are thrilled that I put my foot down about moving in together, getting a dog, and finally getting married. We are excited to celebrate with all of you and for the many more adventures ahead!
