Once upon a time Neil and Ellie met through mutual friends wayyy back in 2015. Neil thought he was sly and got Ellie’s number….turns out he was, as we are here now!! January 5th, 2016 Neil asked Ellie to officially be his girlfriend - to which she responded “I don’t care”. We spent the next few years navigating being kids, getting our first jobs, Neil moving to Clarion for college, and Ellie graduating high school.

After Ellie graduated high school in 2018, she got accepted to Clarion University and we moved in together in an apartment in Clarion. We adopted Honey a few months later and were so excited to be starting our lives together! Over the next 3 years we dealt with the stress of working full time, being full time students, crazy social lives, and of course, Covid. We made tons of friends and memories in Clarion, and that place will always hold a special place in our hearts.

After Ellie graduated from Clarion, we moved a little south of Pittsburgh and got our first big kid jobs! A little over a year after we moved, Neil proposed at the beach. We have spent the last two years planning the best day for our favorite people to come together and celebrate our love with us. We are so thankful to be surrounded by such loving and supportive friends and family and we cannot wait to see you all!
