It turns out the world really is small. We first crossed paths through mutual friends who were dating at the time, and as Quentin loves to remind everyone, Elyse sent the very first message. However, he didn’t waste any time keeping the conversation going. As we got to know each other, we kept uncovering little connections that felt almost too coincidental to believe. We both grew up in Mason, attended the same grade schools, and even lived just one street apart without ever knowing it. We later ended up at the University of Kentucky, but our five-year age difference meant our circles never overlapped. What started as a simple introduction quickly felt like something meant to be. From that first conversation to all the adventures that followed, we’re endlessly grateful that a mutual friend and a very small world led us to each other.
