Connor and Ellie met the spring of 2021 on UK's campus at Christian Student Fellowship during a weekly tradition of midnight pancakes. Connor was attending Asbury at the time, but transferred to UK that fall. Once Ellie found out Connor's family had a new puppy, she was sold! She offered to watch Colt over Thanksgiving break that year and the rest was history. Their first date was at Chuy's on December 9th, four days after Connor picked Ellie up from a Morgan Wallen concert. Connor officially asked Ellie to be his girlfriend on December 22nd. Fast forward to March 30, 2024--the proposal. Connor and his family had planned "family photos" for his parents' upcoming wedding anniversary. Little did Ellie know that Connor would get down on one knee and ask her to be his wife! Her parents were even hiding out in the parking lot and got to witness the proposal! Connor had planned an engagement party for friends and family later that afternoon to celebrate this big moment with them! Now their wedding is right around the corner. Connor and Ellie are so excited for this next step in their lives and can't wait to spend forever with each other!
