Eli and Abbey had unknowingly crossed paths many times during their lives. From attending the same church as children, to passing each other in the halls of their middle school & high school, all have led up to this magical moment.

After Abbey moved back from graduating college from UW-Milwaukee, in 2019, Eli and Abbey connected on a night out on the town in down-town La Crosse.

While Abbey thought Eli was just trying to be her friend, Eli was working up the courage to ask Abbey for that first date.

Fast forward to October 20, 2019, Eli asked Abbey to officially be his girlfriend! (Woohoo!)

As days turned into weeks, and weeks turned into months, Abbey and Eli became inseparable. On May 8, 2022 Eli and Abbey found themselves on the cliff sides of Ireland, where Eli proposed and Abbey very happily said YES!

We are so excited to start this new chapter in our lives and we can’t wait to celebrate with all of you!
