We always knew of each other but never talked to one another. One day, we bumped into each other in the weight room at our high school. We both have different ideas on how we started. Elyse swears that Stefan was the first one to make a move. Stefan says that Elyse began flirting with him in the weight room, then he eventually slid in her DM's. One Prom-posal with pink roses and a cookie cake that read "Prom with Stefan?" and it kickstarted everything that followed. ELYSE SWEARS WE WERE JUST SUPPOSED TO BE PROM DATES.

Stefan set this up pretty good. On November 14th, 2020, Stefan had his sister drag me all over downtown Tampa taking pictures while Stefan and our families got ready. I was supposed to be taking his family's Christmas photos. Well we met at the University of Tampa where the family photos were taking place, only problem was that his family never showed up. He surprised me by dropping down to one knee and asking me to marry him at our favorite spot on campus.

So far it's been 8 years full of memories.. proms, graduating high school and college, traveling, starting our careers, engagement and NOW WE'RE GETTING MARRIED!
