Allie & Josh met 9/11/21 through mutual friends at a Purdue football party for the first game of the year. It was Allie’s first weekend in Chicago, after moving for work from Minnesota. Reflecting on this day, it’s clear they were obviously set up and that they were meant to meet. Their professional 'day jobs', Josh working for Live Nation & Allie working for Hormel Foods, reflect well in their personal lives as they love great food and good music! Allie & Josh have been to over 25 concerts in the last three years together… to name some of their favorites - TwoFriends, ARIZONA, and Kygo!! Conveniently both Allie & Josh’s immediate families are in the greater Indy area — Josh growing up in Westfield and Allie in Bargersville. It makes it extra nice for the holidays for their families to live only an hour apart!! Josh is from a family of 6, Allie a family of 5. On their wedding day a few key family members will be celebrating in Heaven as Allie unexpectedly lost her Dad, Doug, in a farm accident January of 2020 and Josh lost his younger sister, Jeannelle, to a long battle with cancer in November of 2021. ❤️ Josh has lived in Chicago for 9 years, and he shows his love through acts of service (best cook around & is the best dog Dad to Harry). Allie has moved around with work living in Colorado, Minnesota and the best move yet to Chicago. She shows her love through words of affirmation!! They both bring amazing friends from various seasons of life together. They also enjoy to travel & explore new places! Their favorite destination though is Marco Island FL as it’s where they went for their first vacation together in January of ‘22 & the place Josh proposed Feb ‘23! They are so excited for married life together & cannot wait to throw an amazing party June 22, 2024!
