Allie and Nolan met up at a famous Detroit coffee shop on a windy October day. Neither had high expectations, but one coffee and three hours of conversation later, they both knew this was the beginning of something special. Over the next three years they had many adventures and travels, laughs, played numerous board games, Allie read lots of books (Nolan read a couple), and built a life they love with their beautiful cat Zola. Three hours turned to three years and that turned into forever. (#cheeseemoji).
