We met at McGarrett's bar on the corner of Elmwood and Bidwell (also known as Heenan's or "No Name" bar). Elliot went out with his sister Christine and her friends that night. Klara went out with her friend Kathleen who was meeting up with her friend Dan from work. Dan was one of Christine's friends, and so the fateful meeting occurred that evening! Elliot's sister Suzie, always a matchmaker, saw Elliot looking at Klara and arranged for Klara to be Elliot's partner in pool. At the end of the night Elliot asked for Klara's number, and after making him feel uncomfortable for a few minutes, she eventually relented and gave it to him (with urging from Kathleen). Three days later (after Elliot made Klara wait all weekend before texting her), we planned our first date and had a lovely evening walking up and down Elmwood Ave. In a strange twist, we grew up only about a mile away from each other, but never met until that night in October 2017. We believe that God's timing is perfect.
