Allie and Neil first met at the Walt Disney World Marathon Weekend Race Expo in 2020. Staying in touch through quarantine, they met up again as soon as they could in Walt Disney World! They dated long distance and saw each other during runDisney events and the frequent road trip.

It should come as NO surprise that during the Dopey Challenge in 2023, Neil proposed the night before the race began. It should *also* come as no surprise that they decided the most fitting place to tie the knot was on the Disney Cruise Line, where they were married in the beautiful atrium and (wait for it..) celebrated the next morning with a special 5K for their wedding guests. Complete with custom race shirts, the cutest bridal running attire, and amazing medals for the finishers!
