We're getting married!

In the summer of 2015, Ali and Blake were each working separate internships in San Diego. One weekend, Ali's friend from college and San Diego native, Kelly Applewhite, invited Ali and a couple of her friends to a popular bar to celebrate her childhood friend's 21st birthday. At Backyard in Pacific Beach, a dark haired Ali met her future husband Blake (who was wearing a Hawaiian shirt covered in surfing Santas), on his 21st birthday. She bought him a birthday drink, an Old Fashioned (what do boys drink anyway?) which he reluctantly drank and she impressed him with her Padres knowledge while they watched the game. One week later, Blake asked Ali out on a date and they've been inseparable ever since.
