Justin and Allison met at their high school job, The Columbus Zoo and Aquarium, in 2017. They both worked in the Congo River Food Market at the Zoo. From their first interaction where they chatted over frozen Donatos pizzas, they instantly clicked. They became great friends and over the year that followed, their friendship blossomed into something more. They began dating in August 2018 and have been inseparable ever since. They are each other’s best friend, life partner, and adventure buddy. They simply cannot imagine life without each other. In June 2024, everything came full circle and they got engaged at the very spot where they captured their first prom pictures as friends in April 2018.
