Our Wedding

We met on the second day of rehearsals when our choirs performed in Carnegie Hall in May of 2013. We bonded over our love of dance and our friendship started there. 2 weeks later, Ryan poked Allison on Facebook to keep the conversation going, and it all grew from there. 12 years later, we're finally getting married!

Our Story

Photos

Megan and Alli have been friends since the start of undergrad, when Alli asked to be roommates one day too late. Clearly it didn't matter; they ended up living right next door at Temple and have been inseparable since.

Megan Byrne

Ryan and Austen have been best friends since middle school. They unfortunately become the unstoppable force when they get together, egging on shots and drinks for all.

Allison has been so lucky to have Maddie as her little sister. Maddie knows how to bring out the joy in every event and is so excited to be a part of Allison and Ryan's special day.

Madison Cutri

Ryan and Natasha have known each other since middle school as well. They're best known for bringing the pesky little brother energy to whoever will tolerate them.

Natasha Pande

Nothing can bring a pair of people together like the shared trauma of a PhD program, which is exactly how Allison and Lauren met. The two are forever each other's enabler to buy plants, bake random recipes, and run away into the woods.

Lauren Eckermann

Ryan and Robert have known each other since, you guessed it, middle school! Rob is the glue that holds Ryan's fashion sense together. Every groomsperson you see here had extensive input from Rob.

Having accompanied the happy couple on their first date, Becca has probably seen Allison and Ryan's relationship grown the most. In the years since, Allison and Becca have been forming their own sisterly bond and can't wait to continue in the future.

Ryan met Dan in 2020 during the height of COVID when our car club went on a cruise together. The first time they met, he dove under my car unprompted to retrieve a stick he had had run over. Since then, Dan and Ryan have bonded over racing and our love of cars together.

After meeting  in 2016 during sorority pledging, Melanie took the role of Allison's Big seriously, always knowing how to ground Allison but also get her to let loose. Allison is so grateful and honored to have a friend like Mel in her life.

Ryan and Connor were randomly assigned roommates in 2013. Crazily, Connor stuck with him and they stayed roommates all four years of college. Connor is the one that got Ryan into PC gaming, a decision he has yet to regret because he still hard carries him through every video game on a nightly basis.
