How We Met

May the 4th be with us!

Rob and Ayla met online, bonding over their love of Dungeons and Dragons, the McElroy brothers, and all things nerdy. Their first date was May 4th, 2019, on the Woodstock Square, at Ethereal Confections, where they walked around the farmers' market. In 2023, Rob proposed to Ayla in the Woodstock Square under the gazebo, in sight of all the places that hold special places in their hearts as building blocks for their relationship. November 6th, 2026, they're completing the trifecta by getting married in the same place they met.
