Chad and Elena first met through their mutual friend, Allison Petrillo, who set them up for Elena's sorority date party at VYCE Social Club in Philadelphia because Elena needed a date and Chad wanted to go to a sorority formal event. Luckily, they hit it off and continued to see each other after the party was over until making it official on New Years Day of 2018 and the rest was history.

Since then, they've continued to grow together from graduating undergrad at West Chester University; adopting their baby puppy, Cooper; starting their first jobs; moving in to Chad's first apartment in King of Prussia to then moving in together; Elena graduating her masters program; and traveling the world together. They've stuck by each other's sides through every high and low life has thrown at them and are so excited to continue this journey through starting their forever.
