Many years ago, Nate and Elaine became friends as freshmen on high school swim team. However, Nate had a huge crush on Elaine, and eventually won her over through presents of mixed CDs and beef jerky. Despite these gifts, we parted ways a bit later. Until 2019, when we "re-met" at a Memorial Day party, chatting the entire evening over PBRs at a Polish Veteran's Bar. After years of visiting Elaine in Columbus and pandemic date nights, Nate proposed to Elaine under the Eiffel Tower last May. We are so excited to celebrate our wedding with you all in September!
