Our Love Story
Alannah & Ross met back in February 2016 after meeting each other through their Best man Zac, they will forever be grateful to their best friend for playing cupid. They were inseparable from the moment they started talking. Many nights were spent on face time every night before they officially met up together for their first date and started getting buses together all the time to college as a couple. Alannah and Ross got engaged very early on in their relationship, this was about 6 months after being together but they just knew they were the one for each other. Before they knew it, weeks rolled into months, then months rolled into years. Alannah & Ross are now getting married, 7 years to the exact date that they first said that they love each other. The number 17 is very sentimental to them both and they use this as their lucky number!
