Our Wedding

Eli and Sadie met in October 2023. Having been set up by mutual friends, they both went out under the impression that they would be meeting up with a larger group of people. Turns out, the larger group was just each other. Unaware that he’d be meeting his wife that night, Eli was sporting what Sadie would call a very “Duck Dynasty”esque beard. In spite of the lengthy beard, the conversation flowed effortlessly, and an immediate friendship/connection was undeniable.

Our Story

After slyly mentioning that the beard would be trimmed up, Eli set up their first date. At the restaurant, Sadie told him that she was nervous (the beard trim had her falling in love in the Giorgio's parking lot). Eli took her hands and assured her that he was nervous too, but, "That's probably a good sign. It means that we really like each other!". They had Italian and went to a rooftop bar in Nashville, where they talked about every single thing you aren't supposed to discuss on first dates. For hours. They shared their first kiss in a photobooth, and at the conclusion of the night, Eli got a boot on his car. He said, "This is going to make a great story".

A day or so later, Eli asked Sadie if she'd do a couples costume with him for Halloween. She declined, insisting on enjoying a "single girl Halloween" and dressing as such. Perhaps subconsciously, ironically, she knew that this would be her last one. So, she dressed as Britney Spears, and Eli was a rockstar (fitting, no?). Although they were both ~technically~ single, Sadie and Eli spent all night attached at the hip. Obviously. And despite knowing each other for less than two weeks, Eli may or may not have told her it was love at first sight when they'd first met.

After a few days of smack-talking one another's football teams, a fierce debate over Little Debbie snack cakes, and a whooooooole lotta flirting, the Steelers fan decided to ask the Titans fan to officially be his girlfriend. He invited her out for a night of what was to become two of their most favorite activities; listening to live music and making s'mores. Later that evening, he surprised her with an offer she couldn't refuse; flowers and cosmic brownies (her favorite). She said yes, of course.

Haters might say that the subsequent exchange of "I love you"s and talks of their future together came a little fast, but it unquestionably worked. And falling for each other came as easily and naturally as breathing.

On a rainy Sunday in April, Eli asked Sadie to be his wife. A few days before, Eli engraved the message "Sadie Lynne, will you marry me?" in her favorite cursive, on a large rock. While he had Sadie distracted on the phone with her mom, he ran through the house and set the rock on her front porch with flowers and, of course, cosmic brownies. They went on a walk, and when they got to the porch, he got down on his knee. He gave her the perfect ring. It was custom-made to be exactly like Sadie's great-grandmothers, which she'd loved since she was a little girl. It was all captured on the doorbell camera.

In the background of this love story, Eli and Sadie have experienced the most eventful year(s) of their lives. They have stood next to one another through starting new careers, caring for her mother after open heart surgery, births, deaths, many concerts and soccer tournaments, weddings, lots of travels, the addition of their precious kitten ✨Miss Girl✨, moving, and everything in-between (including Bonnaroo tent camping where, in a true act of love, Eli made Sadie a toilet). Soulmate stuff. The good, the bad, and the ugly all just reinforcing that feeling of “Yeah… this is the one."

They look forward to spending the rest of their lives sharing headphones, taking advantage of every photobooth they see, and sitting on the front porch talking about everything. They both agree that it feels weird talking about themselves in the third person, but hope you enjoyed hearing their favorite story!!!
