Eli and Cara met in July 2012 at Blue Lake Fine Arts Camp. Both had signed up for a drawing minor. Throughout the weeks of camp, they discovered they both were swimmers and played brass instruments. On the last day of camp, Eli asked Cara if he could walk her to rehearsal. Like a true gentleman he waited as she ran back to grab her drawing which made them both late. They connected on Facebook and kept in touch over the years, checking in during swim season and talking about band. In 2015 they reconnected again at Central Michigan University and have been together ever since. Isn't life crazy?
