We met the way all great fairytales start, in the magical realm of possibility that is...a retail store. We both worked together with a comradery that comes only with fulfilling balloon orders and waking up at 5 AM to open a party store. Between ribbon curling and sorting candy, "just coworkers" became "just friends" until, eventually, we became "Allie and Chris". Our story didn't stop there, as most fairytales include a castle and magical creatures. We got a house and three gremlins (cats), so I guess that's close enough. Along the way we became each other's rock, each other's best friend, and found that Taylor Swift was really onto something when she wrote: "I think I'd like to hang out with you for my whole life". Now, we're writing the next chapter of our fairytale together, ready to embrace our happily ever after.
