Ali & Patrick met through a mutual friend in February of 2019 at an Annapolis bar called Harvest. The two schemed to sneak one last round of beers out of the bar after last call. Ali had the idea. Patrick had the coat pockets. They had an instant friendship.

Almost a year later, Ali & Patrick ran into each other one night at a bar in Downtown Annapolis named Federal House. Ali was sitting at the bar when Patrick walked in. They locked eyes from across the dance floor and Patrick made his way over to Ali. Romantically and suavely, he approached her and said, “what’s up?” They talked and laughed and danced all night. They walked home together and sang Sweet Child O' Mine in the streets of Murray Hill. Little did they know what the next five years held for them.
