Our Story
Eli and CalleighRae both went to Eagan High School! CalleighRae knew of the big-time hockey player, Eli May (duh, who didn't?) but their paths never quite crossed during their high school years.
In 2024, Eli was put on CalleighRae's radar thanks to the matchmaking magic of her best friend, Kasey. Eventually, Eli made the official first move of setting up a date, which led to many more and its easily led to for-ev-ver for CalleighRae & Eli (and their pups, Archie and Georgie).
Eli proposed to CalleighRae while on a weekend getaway to Grandview Lodge Resort on Gull Lake - Eli's favorite lake! The special moment was just the two of them, on the deck of their cabin, the morning of October 4, 2025.
Q + A
Are kids invited to the celebration?
No. We have chosen for this event to be kid-free. Thank you for understanding.
Can I bring a plus one?
We have intentionally selected our guests so, only those addressed on the invite are requested to join the celebration.
Is the celebration inside or outside?
The celebration will take place on the rooftop of 6Smith. It is equipped for poor weather, including weather shades, ceiling heaters & louvered roof. However, weather permitted, we will have it all open!
Where should I park?
There is an extensive parking lot available at 6Smith.
I have another question, who should I ask?
Feel free to text either CalleighRae or Eli with any additional questions!
