We met the old fashioned way- at a bar! As fate would have it, Elizabeth and a friend from grad school hopped into the line at Bab's in Downtown Ann Arbor. Just seconds later, two Lima boys got in line behind them and started to make small talk. John and Elizabeth sat next to each other at the bar and things just started to click. John asked Elizabeth if they could go dancing and the rest is history.

After almost two years of dating, John and Elizabeth traveled to London and Paris to meet up with John's childhood best friend, who lives north of London. After a day of museum hopping and an incredible French dinner, Elizabeth and John headed to see the Eiffel Tower. At 11 pm, as the tower began to shimmer, John got down on one knee and asked Elizabeth to marry him.
