Eli grew up in Dallastown, PA and studied civil engineering at Widener University. Kathleen is from Leonardo, NJ and went to Towson University to become an elementary school teacher. They met online in 2020 when Zoom calls were still cool and the world was cautiously reopening and haven’t stopped talking since. Their early weekends were spent driving back and forth between college towns, tagging along to sorority events, and going on long walks that usually ended in ice cream. After graduation, Eli headed to Mechanicsburg and Kathleen stayed in Federal Hill, keeping their medium-distance tradition alive with weekly hangouts that often featured parking battles, takeout debates, and pretending they didn’t have work the next day. Years later, Kathleen swapped city living for small-town charm, and now they call Red Lion, PA home, along with way too many throw blankets and a growing collection of plants. Now, they’re thrilled to be getting married and can’t wait to celebrate this next chapter with all their favorite people!
