Alison and Joe met at the beginning of their freshman year of college at DePaul University. Initially, Alison was unsure of the guy that was double her height, but in the end, she couldn't resist his goofy personality and big smile. Since then, the couple has traveled to several countries, graduated college together, bought a condo in Chicago, and welcomed their adorable pup, Pearl. After 6 years together, Joe asked Alison to marry him, and she said YES!
