June 12, 2026

Cheyenne, WY

How We Met

Elijah and Emmi first met as high school students through their homeschool co-op, where their friendship began to take shape. From the beginning, Elijah won Emmi over with his amazing humor and steady kindness. As their connection developed, it became clear that their values and desires in life met up perfectly. After more than four years together, they are excited to enter this new chapter, and hope that you all are able to share this special day with them!

The Proposal

May 26, 2025

Elijah took Emmi up to Estes Park, CO for a double date with some friends. They ate lunch and after, walked along the river. While walking, Elijah led Emmi under a gazebo and proposed to her asking if she would spend the rest of life with him. And of course she said, “YES!”
