This is a story for the ages. Meghan Allison, daughter of Dennis Allison and Lisa Moretti of Mt. Lebanon, married Jack McMahon, son of Chris and Molly McMahon, also of Mt. Lebanon. The couple have known each other all their lives.
Both sets of parents met and became friends at Duquesne University; the men were roommates there, while the women roomed together after college in Stamford, Connecticut. Jack and Meg crossed paths very early on and began dating in junior high school, both playing lacrosse, going to homecoming and senior prom, and graduating from MLHS together in 2013.
They went off to separate colleges, she to the University of Miami in Florida and he to Lafayette, coming back together in 2019 while both were living in New York City.
They were married at St. Paul’s Cathedral in Oakland on Saturday, Nov. 15, 2025, by the same priest who married Meg’s parents, Fr. John Skirtich, who is also a Duquesne graduate and a friend of both sets of parents. A reception followed at The Pennsylvanian, a historic landmark in downtown Pittsburgh.
The couple will honeymoon in December, celebrating New Year’s a day before the rest of us in Fiji, followed by New Zealand. They reside in Brooklyn, New York.
