Ali and Derrek's love story began on the Saint Joseph’s University campus, where their friendship blossomed into something more during their junior year. Despite the distance that followed their graduation, with Derrek building his career in Philadelphia and Ali pursuing hers in Texas, their bond only grew stronger. Eventually, fate brought them back together in Philly, where they embraced city life and embarked on the adventure of living together in their first apartment.
Their journey continued as they took the plunge into homeownership in South Philly, creating a cozy place to call their own, a testament to their commitment to one another.
With a shared passion for staying active, jet-setting to new destinations, and savoring delicious cuisines, Ali and Derrek are always on the go. In a picturesque moment of pure love and excitement, Derrek popped the question during their trip to Lake Como, Italy, making their already unforgettable vacation even more magical. Now, surrounded by the love and support of their cherished ones, Ali and Derrek are gearing up for the next thrilling chapter —tying the knot and beginning their happily ever after.
