We swam together at Carnegie Mellon University all 4 years. It wasn't until senior year fall that we started hanging out with a smaller group of swimmers and getting to know each other. Ellie made the first move and we dated for 6 months before graduating college and starting a long-distance relationship. Jack moved to Michigan and Ellie stayed in Pittsburgh for 1 more year of grad school. During Covid, Jack moved back home to Lititz, PA and Ellie moved home to Lincoln, NE. After over 2 years of long-distance, we moved in together in Michigan, then moved to Pittsburgh only 8 months later. Jack proposed where we first said "I love you" in Pittsburgh's Schenley Park in October 2022. We can't wait to tie to knot August 3, 2024 with our closest family and friends!
