Our first photo ever - snapped on one of our last nights out with bridesmaid Caroline and groomsman Sam while studying abroad in Valencia, Spain in June 2018!

Fun with friends at a UVA Football game in November 2018!

Our first big date night - Eli accompanied Helen to ADPi's Spring Formal in April 2019!

Helen's first Phish show in June 2019 - also our first (although short) road trip together!

Eli's first night out with the Query family - at ADPi Parent's Formal 2019

Helen got to meet Eli's extended family at a concert in September 2019!

Eli accompanied Helen to ADPi's "Mallard Ball" in November 2019! Without us knowing, this was one of the last big events we got to go to before COVID :(

We celebrated our 2020 college graduation virtually

And spent a lot of time social distancing together at wineries throughout 2020 and 2021.

Visited Chicago in April 2021 and thought we might be moving there for med school...

But were then excited to celebrate Helen's white coat ceremony at VCU in Richmond in July!

In our truly wonderful 5 years together, we have .... Spent some fun time camping,

Enjoyed MANY a concert....

Sat back to watch sunsets around the world (this one on a trip to Asheville, NC in 2022)...

And this gorgeous sunset in Aruba in 2022.

We've gone on many fun trips, including this one to DC,

and to our favorite destination so far, Costa Rica!

Eli packed up and moved to Richmond in 2023, and on July 4th among the fireworks we moved into our first apartment together on Monument Avenue.

After a year of fun times as roommates, Eli secretly planned their biggest adventure yet and coordinated a weekend-long Amazing Race adventure to commemorate our favorite show.

Eli asked Helen to marry him on the last night of our Amazing Adventure on April 6, 2024, and it was an easy, obvious decision for Helen to say yes!

We can't wait to celebrate our love with all of our closest friends and family on May 17! Thank you for making it to the end of our love story in photos :)
