Our love story began in the summer of 2017 at a pool, where we both worked as lifeguards. It didn't take long for our connection to blossom, and soon we were inseparable. Choosing the same university, our college years were filled with shared adventures, laughter, and the deepening of our love.

After graduation, we embarked on a new journey together, moving to the stunning landscapes of Washington State. Ally pursued her passion for teaching, and John became a dedicated firefighter, always ready to respond to the call of duty.

In May 2023, we traveled to Japan, where John's parents had grown up. It was a beautiful garden, with a fountain as the centerpiece, where he chose to propose. Under the clear sky and the soothing sound of flowing water, he got down on one knee, and with a heart full of love, asked Ally to be his partner for life. Tearfully, she accepted, and our journey, which had started by the poolside in 2017, had now led us to this beautiful moment.

As we begin planning our future together, we know that our love, born by the pool, nurtured through the years, and celebrated in a serene Japanese garden, will be a guiding light for the adventures ahead.
