We grew up as family friends, but life took us in different directions...until one summer changed everything. After years apart, we reunited during a family trip to Elim Lodge. What started as a simple reintroduction quickly turned into the realization that our friendship had the potential to be something truly special. Through the ups and downs of life (and a global pandemic), we stayed connected, continuing to build a deeper friendship. A few years later, we found ourselves back at Elim Lodge—this time, not just as old friends, but as two close friends beginning to see the possibility of something more. Fast-forward to 2024, and once again, we found ourselves at Elim Lodge. But this time, it wasn’t just another chapter in our story, it was the moment our journey came full circle. In the very place where our paths realigned, Rishon proposed and we took the next step toward our forever.
