Ali & Patrick met through a mutual friend in February of 2019 at an Annapolis bar called Harvest. The two schemed to sneak one last round of beers out of the bar after last call. Ali had the idea. Patrick had the coat pockets. They had an instant friendship.

Almost a year later, Ali & Patrick ran into each other one night at a bar in Downtown Annapolis named Federal House. Ali was sitting at the bar when Patrick walked in. They locked eyes from across the dance floor and Patrick made his way over to Ali. Romantically and suavely, he approached her and said, “what’s up?” They talked and laughed and danced all night. They walked home together and sang Sweet Child O' Mine in the streets of Murray Hill. Little did they know what the next five years held for them.

Ali & Patrick hiked Sugarloaf Mountain on a brisk wintry day for their first date on February 15, 2020. They warmed up with mulled wine and each other’s company after the hike at the Sugarloaf Winery.

Patrick asked Ali to be his girlfriend on March 21, 2020 during a picnic. The world was about to go into quarantine but the two knew they could not be separated. They took a leap of faith and never looked back.

This is still Ali's contact photo for Patrick all this time later.

Ali & Patrick moved in together on April 2, 2022. They love their spacious townhome in Annapolis with their beloved Kitty.

Patrick proposed to Ali in Clearwater Beach, Florida on February 23, 2024. It's only fitting they get married on the beach as well.

On June 20, 2025, Patrick & Ali will vow a lifetime of love and partnership with all their friends and family there to witness.
