Elijah and Courtney met while attending Washington State University in 2018. They met and had a few dates before deciding it wasnt the right time for them. Fast foward to a year later in 2019, when Elijah got back in touch with Courtney and asked her on a date. They went on their second first date at a Mexican Restaurant in Moscow, Idaho. After that, they enjoy Courtney’s last year in Pullman, Washington together! They decided to try long distance as Elijah finished his time in Pullman and Courtney moved to Spokane, Washington for graduate school. During this time, they had countless phone calls and facetime dates. They survived sadness, sickness, and a pandemic! In April of 2020, Elijah moved to Spokane to be with Courtney. In October of that same year, Elijah planned a day trip with Courtney and some friends to go to a pumpkin patch. That day Elijah asked Courtney to be his wife and she said YES. Time flies when you are in love with your best friend! Here’s to celebrating their love and commitment!
