Allison and Reed Aichholz

Flowy dresses swirl around the second dance floor, dipped by suits and ties as A&M alumni visit old stomping grounds after a friend’s wedding. Allison and Reed Aichholz, both Class of 2021, spent countless hours in Harry’s back when they lived in College Station.

“When we first started dating we’d always come here,” Reed said.

That made Allison laugh and chime in with the full story.

“I remember the first time me and my friends met him and his friends here,” Allison said. “Diana’s one of our friends that taught him how to dance. When we first started dating, he was nervous to dance with me, but he could dance with her.”

The Aichholzs married in early 2023; Allison said it’s difficult to quantify how many happy memories they shared there in the dance hall.

“It’s just fun to be back, together, now that we’re married,” Allison said. “It makes me feel grown up.”

Treading the same worn floorboards again after celebrating a friend’s marriage made them reminisce about their own partnership, the Aichholzs said.

“Where we live, it’s kind of harder to get a place to dance,” Reed said. “We’ve had so much fun with our friends here just going out with them. It’s a good feeling.”
