We're getting married!

It was Winter 2014, Ellie was on break during her Sophomore year at the University of Washington. Ellie's sister, Emily was living in Seattle and invited Ellie to come watch the Husky football bowl game with her and her friends. Emily's boyfriend (now husband) Sebastian brought his friend, Joey who was impressed with Ellie's passion for sports. Later that night everyone went to the German bar down the street (Ellie wasn't yet 21, shhh!) and shared a boot of beer. A few days later, Joey asked Ellie out to dinner. At first, she said no because going on a date with a guy 3 years older than her who could legally drink was scary! After a few more days and reconsidering on Ellie's end, she was intrigued and changed her mind, asking Joey if the date was still on the table. Needless to say, it was and the rest is history! Ellie and Joey had their first kiss on Whidbey Island and it is where Joey proposed 6 years after meeting Ellie. It's a special place that they can't wait to share with you on their big day!
