E & E

During college (when everyone is on one dating app or another), Emilio and Ellie met on Tinder, of all places. They became fast friends, bonding over a love of cats and indie music. For the next year, they kept in almost constant communication, meeting each other's friends and spending time together. In March of 2022, Emilio (finally) asked Ellie to be his girlfriend. From that point on, they were inseparable. They spent every possible moment together, met each others' families, went on trips, and stayed up until 2 AM bingeing television shows. By January of 2023, they had moved in together and started planning for the future. They got a corgi named Cooper, and a cat named Blueberry. It was always in the plan to move to DFW after Ellie graduated from UT Tyler's Soules College of Business, and in October of 2024, they were finally able to make this a reality. Now, they live in Fort Worth with their fur babies. Ellie is a Sales Manager at Ulta, and Emilio works at FedEx. They spend most of their free time with friends in the area, or going back to Tyler to see friends and family. Life could not be better. One night, Emilio and Ellie met at a little brewery down the street from their jobs for a date. They had always talked about marriage as the obvious next step, but never put a ring on it. In that moment, Ellie knew she was ready to start planning to truly intertwine their lives forever. They talked about it over a game of Go Fish, and decided to tell their families the next day. That leads us to where we are today! We are so excited to have each and every one of you present for one of the happiest days of our lives.
