How did you meet?

We met online, and it wasn't long till we found ourselves talking on the phone for hours. Cole finally convinced me to drive down to Wheeling and go on our first date at the Alpha Tavern. He thought I was standing him up because I was 15 minutes late. (I was 15 minutes late because I was driving around the restaurant because I was nervous).  

What first attracted you to each other?

Response #1 (Ally): What initially attracted me to Cole was his charm, consistency, and I truly will never forget our first couple conversations. It just clicked for us.
Response #2 (Cole): After 5 minutes of thinking she had stood me up, I saw her zip into a parking spot. She proceeded to wait in her car for another 5 minutes, but when she got out, it was a moment I'll never forget. Some things just fit together, like pieces of the same puzzle. Those first few dates felt like piece after piece coming together.

What is your favorite memory with each other?

We have a lot of favorite memories together, however all the travel we have done together is hard to beat. Ireland was one of our favorite trips together. The cruise we went on with friends to St. Lucia, Barbados, St Marten, St Thomas, and Virgin British Islands was unforgettable. We have been so blessed to do all the travel we have experienced over the last few years.

What is your favorite way of spending time together?

We enjoy spending time with friends and family, going to Nailers hockey games. Cole enjoys golf and I enjoy spending time with him just driving the cart most times. 

How did you get engaged?

Cole proposed on the beach in Pensacola Florida! 

Why did you decide on a destination wedding?

We decided on a destination wedding because we wanted to have a week's worth of fun in paradise with the people who mean the most to us!
