First things first, “Go Friars!” Allie and Dan had their first date on October 6th, 2022 at Mulligan’s in Hoboken, New Jersey. They bonded over Guinness, the jersey shore and Providence College. That date is more commonly known as the birth day of Dan’s nephew, Ronan Bennett which was the initial topic of discussion. Allie loved how Dan had a “family group chat” that kept blowing up on their first date. It ensured that Dan was a family guy and they shared stories of their nieces and nephews. Since that date, Allie and Dan have spent every weekend together. Between date nights in Hoboken and Jersey City to weekend trips spent in Sea Girt and LBI. Fast forward to March 22nd, 2024 Dan and Allie brought home their chocolate lab puppy named Brooks. A few months later, Dan proposed on June 15th with Brooks by his side. Hinge is to thank for allowing their paths to cross at the perfect time in each of their lives. They were in fact, a perfect match!
