We are sure this comes as a surprise to absolutely no one, but we first met at a goalball tournament. We're both competitive athletes, so naturally, we were drawn to each other (and also maybe trying to outscore each other on the court). That competitive banter quickly turned into friendship, which then turned into something more. Now, we're best friends who are getting married, and we couldn't be more excited about it. So, how did we really know? For Eliana, it was the small, everyday things that made it clear. Like Calahan reading her favorite book series with her, to understand what she is talking about half the time. Or going to a Taylor Swift concert with her, and even knowing some of the lyrics. And he always makes sure she gets the window seat on flights, even if he's squished in the middle. Plus, he's a fantastic cook and keeps her supplied with an endless stream of coffee. But honestly, it's Calahan's kindness, thoughtfulness, goofy humor, and unwavering support that made her fall in love. For Calahan, it was Eliana’s smile, outgoing and friendly personality, and ability to connect with anyone. He loves her spontaneous spirit and her readiness for any adventure. Her unrivaled cheering and support for him competing in Paris was also something he will never forget. He also loves that Eliana has embraced his love for anything Pittsburgh, and supports his crazy passion for anything related to the Steelers. He loves Eliana's ability to add humor into stressful situations. He especially loves Eliana's ability to share in his love for ice cream, patience with him in the mornings, and her willingness to try any new restaurant he finds. Beyond our shared love for goalball, we've found we're true teammates in life. We agree on the important things, and we have a lot of fun disagreeing on the rest. And, of course, our shared obsession with our furry baby, Hendrix aka "Shaggy Dog," seals the deal. We can't wait to start this next chapter together, surrounded by all of our friends and family. We're so excited to celebrate the love we've found and all the adventures to come. We hope you're ready for a night filled with laughter, joy, and a whole lot of love.
