* Nick met Allie at Reception for Basic Training. She remembers "the guy" wearing his
cowboy boots with his Army uniform because he didn't have any other shoes.
* Nick and Allie fell in love. At first it had to remain a secret (Nick is the only guy I
know that can meet a girl when there is supposed to be a "No Fratrinization in
Basic" rule)...figures!
* We met Allie at graduation from Basic in November and instantly loved her.
* Nick and Allie are both Combat Medics and therefore were both getting stationed at Fort
Sam Houston in San Antonio.
* Nick visited Allie for New Years in Pennsylvania. Her family and friends adore Nick.
* They really got to know one another quite well at AIT. Training for Combat Medics are 18
weeks long.
* They had planned on a long engagement. Not wanting to get married before Steve came back
from Afghanistan was important to them and Allie's sister was getting married next year so
they wanted to be respectful and wait until after her wedding. They had however discussed
that IF there were a chance for deployment than they would marry sooner. Allie is active
duty and has been stationed at Fort Riley, Kansas. Her assignment has attached her to a
brigade that just returned from oversees in December and is already slotted to go again.
Therefore, they chose to get married sooner.
* They had a small wedding in front of the Justice of the Peace but has plans for a larger
wedding later on.
* We are so excited for the happy couple. We all just LOVE them together. I know many have
already met Allie, but I am anxious to let her meet the rest of the family...we think you will
love and adore her as much as we all do.
