The couple met while working together at Chick-fil-A and dated for a year and a half before getting engaged. During the summer of 2016, Allison was living in Costa Rica doing mission work. She and Pablo had been talking about getting married since that spring. The pair had a Charleston trip planned for two weeks after she got home, so she was expecting Pablo to propose then. The day she returned, the pair were hanging out on the front porch of her house. Pablo suggested they pray together. When Allison opened her eyes, Pablo had the ring sitting in his lap. He got down on one knee and asked her to be his wife. The ceremony was held at H.B. Springs Park in Myrtle Beach and featured a light peach and navy blue color scheme with bright, beautiful flowers. The centerpieces were made by the bride’s uncle and featured wood from the family farm. Allison collected bottles of different shape, size and color that were filled with flowers and set atop the wood. The park also had a tree that had just blossomed, which served as a beautiful (and free!) backdrop. The pair lives in Surfside Beach.
