Looking for love, Ally swiped right on Nate's OK Cupid profile and it was a match. Feeling some liquid courage from the night before, she reached out to Nate and started a conversation. After chatting for a few weeks, they decided it was time to meet for dinner and drinks. It was a bumpy first date but somehow they both agreed to try it again. The second date was off to a late start (thanks to Ally's chronic tardiness) but ended well. There is an ongoing debate over who ate (read stole) more of the dessert that night, but their mutual love of chocolate and peanut butter has helped keep them together. From there, things became serious - they continued dating, met each other's families and friends all while falling in love. After two years of commuting between Brookline and Beacon Hill, Ally and Nate decided to try living together and found a cozy apartment in Back Bay, where they happily lived for four years. Amidst the pandemic, they moved to a larger space (read more closet space) in Newtonville, near Nate's family, in July 2020 and they expanded the family with the addition of Obie their doberman pinscher poodle (doberdoodle) in March 2021.
