We met when Alli was only 17 and Jason 20 through Jason’s brother Joe who has been Alli’s good friend since high school. We didn’t start dating until after Alli had graduated from Penn State and was home for the summer, but Alli always thought Jason was so cute and a sweet guy. Our first date was now 6 years ago and we’ve built a life of love together with our dog & cats and extended families. We can’t wait to make it official in October!

One weekend in August, Alli's good friend Vivien was visiting in Brigantine from Ohio. Under the ruse of Viv taking 1st birthday photos of our friend's daughter, Jason and I met Viv on the beach to watch her take the photos and say hello to everyone. Viv then wanted to take some photos of us, which Alli was shy about but played along anyway. At one point Alli saw Jason's brother walking on the beach, who had no business being there, and when she turned back around Jason was on one knee. Jason's brother Joe was able to be there, and Alli's family. And Viv caught it all on camera!
