On November 10th, 2023, I (Ellie) was with some friends who encouraged me to go on a dating app (ew but thank you Morgan Seim!) so later that day I decided to add myself to one and 2 hours later, Mason and I were messaging!


On December 31st, 2023, we officially started dating!
We spent our time on lots of walks, puzzles, reading, going to the gym, hanging with friends and family, and connecting to a church we now love! So thankful for all the dating memories.


On December 14th, 2024, Mason, his mom Stephanie, and I were on a James J Hill Mansion tour and afterwards, his mom had an idea to go look at the Cathedral Christmas lights across the street. Next thing I know, I was relentlessly pulling on the locked door only to look down and see Mason on one knee, saying I love you! Best day of our lives! We got to spend the rest of the day with our friends and loved ones.
