Who can I contact with questions?

Feel free to reach out to Eleaine and/or Stephen. Please ask us any questions you might have! We can't wait to see you all!! <3

Who made the first move?

Stephen made the first move, and he got me good by bringing up Noodle in his life jacket. I saw him and Odin, and couldn't resist two handsome German boys!

Who is the better dancer?

Me: I am. Stephen: *raises his eyebrows* I'm the more motivated dancer. Ya'll can decide at the wedding.

Who's more likely to be late?

Eleaine: 100% me. Stephen : Well both of us cause we are a pair now. LOL

Who is more romantic?

Stephen is. No competition. He's very thoughtful.

Who is more likely to say something embarrassing in their sleep?

Eleaine. She sleeps more first of all. That increases the probability. She also talks about work in her sleep constantly ... and misdiagnoses people.

Who is the better singer?

We both can sing pretty well. Stephen says I'm a better singer, but he has a broader range than I do. Only one way to find out - time for a SING OFF !

Who's the better chef?

Stephen says I am, but I think he just loves Mexican food. Although, my charro beans are pretty bomb. Thanks for the recipe, dad!

Who initiated the first kiss?

Eleaine: Me. That's all the info you get!
