Swanky Soiree is happy to share one of our ninja’s got married in February. Congratulations Nate & Allie!

How they Met

Nate and Allie met through chance. It was July of 2011, she was in college in Maryland, and Nate had just moved from Rochester, New York to accept a new job opportunity in Orlando, Florida. After arriving in Florida, Nate went on Craigslist to look for a place to live. He found a lake house near downtown Orlando, where he met his new roommate, Ashley ( also a Swanky Girl). Ashley was Allie’s first roommate in college and one of her best friends. During Allie’s winter break, She came down to visit Ashley for two weeks. Nate will say, Allie walked through the doors and it was love at first sight.

How he Asked 

The day Nate asked, it was the Friday of Memorial Day weekend. They both were out of work early to visit Nates family at their beach house on Siesta Key. We were greeted with hugs and drinks, and told the plan was to go to a family friend’s club house, to have a BBQ, since the weather was so bad.We hopped in the car and off we went!

As we walked in the door I was surprised to see my entire family, who still lives in Maryland. I immediately ran to them and started hugging. All I heard next was my sister yelling, “Turn around!!!” I turned around and there was Nate, on his knee, with the most beautiful ring. So surrounded by both my parents, sisters, brother, best friends, and Nate’s parents, sisters, brothers, and niece and nephew, everyone we love, I SAID YES! We popped champagne and started our celebration.

Allie: “It was truly the most perfect night I could have ever imagined”
