What are the odds that a girl from California and a boy from New Orleans would meet at a grain elevator in Kansas?! For Elena and Jack, the odds were pretty high! Their love story was slow and actually pretty quiet until Elena invited Jack over to eat at the lunch table one day at work. To break the awkward silence, Elena asked Jack about something all boys love, Star Wars. Little did Elena know, this was one of Jack's favorite things! After this interaction, Jack began to form a liking to Elena. Sometime that summer, after lugging around a ladder, paint cans, and stencils one day at work, Jack asked Elena out. Their first date was at a Kansas sushi place and ended the evening at an axe throwing bar. The pair became pretty inseparable after that but kept the relationship a secret. After talking about the future, Jack and Elena decided to try out a long distance relationship (California to New Orleans) then Illinois to New Orleans) and was successful for 2 1/2 years. Finally, after a lot of prayer and petition to the Lord, Elena was able to move to Louisiana with work! At last long distance was over! Their story finds them here, getting ready to pledge their union in front of God and all their friends and family.
