Our story begins in Virginia... we met one another at Chicks Beach Bar and Grill. Immediately we knew there was something special between us. We dated for a few months in Virginia and then Eli received orders that would take him all the way to Misawa, Japan in less than a month. We both looked at this opportunity as being an adventure for us to concur together as a unified team. Saying goodbye to someone at the airport that you know you won't see for a while is hard but it allows for the growth of independence and for the relationship to grow even stronger than before. In a course of a year, Eli and I have had many adventures together; we've ventured to Hawaii, Colorado, Boston, New York City, Japan, and Thailand. So when Eli asked me to be his wife on a beach in Phuket and take on life's journey side by side it was an easy YES to yet another adventure together. #BecomingTheDawsons2021
