We met working for a nonprofit foresting company in Ashland Oregon. Our sisters were very close and we had heard of each other but never met. The first night we met our parents suggested we carpool to work. We bonded over music and our love for the outdoors. We spent a month together working, laughing, having fun, and we became inseparable. Elise was getting ready to leave for school in the fall so we decided to do long distance. It was hard but we made it work. Due to covid, we were able to be in Medford together for another year and again, we were inseparable.
Fast forward two years and we are planning our wedding. We both knew we were going to get married long before Liam popped the question. Elise, however, made this difficult. Liam had planned a beautiful hike up in Glacier National Park where he would ask her to marry him, but Elise broke her toe and was not able to hike for almost three months. Finally after months of waiting her toe healed and he took her to one of his favorite lakes in Glacier. He got down on one knee and Elise could not stop crying. She couldn't believe this day was finally here. Round trip the hike was almost 10 miles and neither were prepared for such a long hike. In the end, it was the best day ever.
We are both living and working in Bozeman, Montana. It is so beautiful and we love it out here. We are planning on staying out here for school. Liam will be attending Montana State starting next fall and Elise will follow suit. After that, we will see where we end up! We are so excited to start our life together and we are honored to have you be a part of that!
