AEW World Champion Darby Allin is getting married next month, and the date he picked leaves no room for a honeymoon. Speaking with the Jim Kerr Rock & Roll Morning Show on Q104.3 New York, Allin said the wedding is set for Saturday, June 27 in his hometown of Seattle, one day before AEW x NJPW Forbidden Door.
“I just found out the wedding’s on the 27th. The very next day, we have another pay-per-view. At least it’s after the wedding.”
Forbidden Door takes place Sunday, June 28 in San Jose, California, which means Allin goes from the ceremony straight into a pay-per-view weekend. He confirmed there’s no honeymoon on the calendar.
A high school crush, a tragedy, and an Everest proposal
Allin and his fiancee first crossed paths years ago, long before the face paint and the world title. “We met on the school bus in high school,” he said. “At the time she was dating a wannabe gang member, and I thought to myself, how did he get her?”
What he learned later turned the story dark. “They’re walking on a trail one day, and he starts arguing with another wannabe gang member, and that guy pulls out a gun. Her boyfriend puts her behind him, and the other guy shoots the boyfriend, goes through her neck and into her head. She got shot in the head.”
She survived, and the two reconnected more than a decade later after she saw a video of him jumping off a waterfall. “She’s like, ‘It’s so cool that you’re still doing all the crazy stuff from high school.’ I brought her bungee jumping, and then I proposed to her on top of Everest.” Allin reached the summit of Mount Everest in May 2025, where he also landed a record-setting kickflip during the climb.
The shooting shaped her career. “She became an ICU nurse. It’s very on brand with dating me, because I always need help,” Allin said. “To think that she was inspired by those people who helped her, to go through all of the training and education to become an ICU nurse. That is really cool.”
Allin’s summer is stacked before the wedding even arrives. He defends the AEW World Championship against MJF in a Championship versus Hair match at Double or Nothing this Sunday, then comes the June 27 wedding, then Forbidden Door the next night. As for what’s beyond it, Allin kept it simple: “We’re going to have some kids and we’re going to go off some jumps. It’s going to be nice.”
