In their college years, Elizabeth was working as a college tour guide in Charleston, where Stephen attended The Citadel. One (very hot) summer day in July 2021, she happened to give a tour to Stephen's Aunt Rebecca, Uncle Todd, and cousin Hannah. The three left the tour and went straight to their family vacation where they told Stephen all about their tour guide, Elizabeth. That same night, he messaged her, and they planned their first date. The first led to the second, and the second led to the third date. Finally, the two decided they never wanted these dates to end. June of 2024, Stephen asked Elizabeth to spend the rest of her life with him, and the two will become one on August 16, 2025!
