ENGAGEMENT DATE : 6.2.19 WEDDING DATE : 10.9.21 samantha, a native of clarksburg, and Justin, originally from Missoula, Montana, met as coworkers. Their love blossomed over small talk about shared interests like country music, food, and all things Disney. They decided to take a trip to Disney World together early in their relationship, and enjoyed the experience so much that they returned for Samantha’s birthday last summer. On the first day of their second trip, right in front of the Tree of Life in Animal Kingdom, Justin got down on one knee and proposed. Samantha said “yes,” and the couple is currently planning a wedding for fall 2021. WHERE THEY RESIDE Bridgeport
ALLISON MICHELLE ROLLINS & CODY DYLAN BALLARD
THE BRIDE IS FROM POINT PLEASANT; THE GROOM IS FROM CHARLESTON. ENGAGEMENT DATE : 10.12.19 WEDDING DATE : 12.11.20
for this pair, pizza is always a good idea. Allison, a Point Pleasant native, initially met Cody while the two were attending college at West Virginia University in 2012. However, it wasn’t until Allison moved to Cody’s hometown of Charleston that the two would meet for their first date at Pies and Pints on Capitol Street. The pair may have different opinions on the best pizza—his, Italian, hers, Chicken Gouda—but found they had much more in common, including a love of traveling, craft beer, and, of course, cheering on the Mountaineers. Shortly after they began dating, they would travel to Savannah, Georgia, and have returned every year since. In 2019, while walking through the local farmers market, Cody proposed to Allison in front of the celebrated fountain in Forsyth Park. The couple returned home to Columbus, Ohio, where they celebrated with their families and goldendoodle, Cheddar Biscuits. Planning is underway for a December 2020 wedding.
