Allyson and Dameon’s Fall Wedding

By Terry Meadows




Allyson and Dameon met at Shepherd University when Allyson became Dameon’s neighbor. Frequently around each other due to football and cheerleading, their friendship deepened, leading to dating in February. After Dameon graduated, they managed a long-distance relationship for six months until he moved back. They settled into their first apartment in Winchester, VA, and became adoptive parents to Lila. They later bought their dream home in Clear Brook, where Dameon proposed to Allyson on Christmas Day.
