Our Wedding

Aly & Dave's Story

Aly and Dave met almost 20 years ago working together at Spirit Halloween in Algonquin, IL. Both share a huge affinity for Halloween, horror, and all things spooky. Dave proposed on Halloween in 2025. The couple loves going to conventions, seeing horror movies in the theater, and playing Dead by Daylight together.
