Clara and Elliot both grew up in Sidney, Nebraska, where they attended the same church and high school. The relationship started as many usually do, as a friendship. In October of 2016 they attended a fall retreat at Table in the Wilderness in Centennial, Wyoming. This was the start of a crush for both sides. Two years years later, Elliot and Clara started talking. On December 22, 2018, Elliot and Clara started dating and the rest is history!
