One crisp fall night, Aly and Dan both found themselves at a local bar in their small town. They didn’t know each other, despite growing up in a place where pretty much everyone knew each other. A UFC fight flickered from the TVs above but wasn’t holding Dan’s attention. He was too drawn to the woman nearby. Wanting to talk to her, he asked, “Who do you think will win?”
That was the instant that things took a turn into the extraordinary, and they’ve been together ever since!
The Perfect Dress (Finally!)
After at least five appointments, Aly was starting to lose hope that she’d find a classic wedding dress she loved. Nonetheless, she came back to Something Bleu Bridal in Saratoga Springs. Maybe there was something they’d missed! Her instincts were right. “I saw a dress on the mannequin, and something called me to it. On the most perfect day with just my mom and Taylor Swift playing in the shop, I found the one!”

How did you choose your gown?
How did the two of you meet?
We’re both from a small town where everyone tends to know each other, but somehow Dan and I never crossed paths until after college. We finally met in October 2018 at a local bar on a night when a UFC fight was playing. Dan struck up a conversation by asking who I thought would win, and I surprised him with random knowledge of the sport. That first conversation sparked an instant connection, and we’ve been together ever since.
