2015: It was the best of times it was the worst of times... Now that that's out of the way, let's talk about Elise and Nathan. Elise and Nathan first met at the Museum of Science and Industry. Elise would do the "Behind the Scenes of MSI" WOW! Tours, which began at the Information Desk where Nathan was regularly scheduled. She knew him as the goofy guy that would talk to her as she prepped the tour, and he knew her as the funny girl that he didn't mind talking to (swoon). Soon, Elise was invited to play in the Dungeons & Dragons group that Nathan was a part of. This was when sparks began to fly--because nothing sells romance like pretending to be a traveling minstrel named Ethel Bardman and a Dwarf named Dong (we'll let you guess who was who). Elise would give Nathan rides home after playing, and when they would get to his apartment, they would talk for hours in the car. They talked about anything and everything, but especially movies. Nathan found out that Elise had never seen one of his favorite films. And that was how Nathan asked Elise on their first date to watch an iconic director's most intimate movie: Mel Brooks's "Blazing Saddles". Elise, in turn, made Nathan watch "While You Were Sleeping," because there is nothing more obnoxious than making a Jewish person watch your favorite Christmas movie in December. Even before they started dating, Elise would jokingly refer to Nathan as "Love of my Life, Nathan Kaplin". From that first date watching Blazing Saddles, it was no longer a joke for either of them.
