We met at Appleton Alliance Church as volunteers in the same Sunday school classroom. We started dating in the summer of 2022 and have dated long distance for three years of college. Some of our favorite things are mini golf, family game nights, and Ashlyn's cute dog, Murphy. We're so excited to celebrate with you all!

Eli proposed to Ashlyn on a cold, sunny afternoon a few days before Christmas. We went out for a Thai food lunch in downtown Neenah, then walked to a nearby alley decorated for the holidays, where Eli popped the question!
