We met while working together at a local restaurant called Dad’s—I was a server, and Eli had just started as a cook. From the beginning, we couldn’t help but notice each other, and thanks to a mutual friend, we finally connected. Our first date was at Schramm’s Farm & Pumpkin Patch, where we discovered how much we had in common and how easy it was to be around each other. We started dating in October of 2019, and in 2025, Eli proposed during an unforgettable trip to Aruba. Since the very beginning, life together has been full of love, laughter, and the kind of joy that only grows with time.
