We're getting married!

Eli and Isabel met freshman year of college at a camp called JH Outback. They started as friends, but Eli quickly won Isabel over after convincing her to allow him to teach her how to surf. It was not long after that they both knew they would be more than friends. They officially started dating in April of 2022. They have both grown so much as individuals and as a couple over these last two years. Eli and Isabel are overjoyed to start this new chapter of life and could not imagine doing it with anyone else.

Isabel had traveled from her hometown in Illinois to Eli's hometown in Michigan in order to spend her birthday and the Fourth of July with Eli and his family. Eli had asked Isabel if she wanted to go to Lake Michigan to watch the sunset, to which she happily obliged. They spent the day together on the lake Eli grew up on. They eventually made their way to Saugatuck, where they got dinner, ice cream, and did some shopping. As it got later, they made their way to Oval Beach. There Isabel asked if they could go up the sand dunes, which ended up being perfect because Eli had set up a blanket surrounded by babies breath. He popped the question, and it was everything Isabel had ever imagined. It was very special because it was the same beach Eli's parents also got engaged. It was a day they will never forget. They are so excited to celebrate their big day with you! See you in July!
