In May of 2016, Alli and Nate met on a tennis court (typical) at the Moorestown Field Club. Alli was playing in a local tennis tournament and Nate recently came home from playing tennis tournaments overseas. Alli was warming up for the match with Nate's brother Mike at the Field Club when she caught Nate's eye. He saw her playing from courts away and walked over to introduce himself. Nate ended up coming to the match where Alli lost in a heart breaking tie-break third set. After that night, they spent everyday together over the summer playing tennis and hanging out. The two decided to make it official on August 27, 2016.
