James and Elise met on the set of a very high production film - one they were both in for a school video. You can actually find the link here:

James and Elise didn't think much of each other after this encounter, but continued to run into each other on campus throughout the year. They would run into each other studying and have a random conversation, or they would see each other at big group events and briefly chat.

Then, a Sadie Hawkins dance was coming up on campus and Elise could not find someone to invite to go with her. Their mutual friend, Sarah, actually suggested that Elise take James. Elise, not feeling strongly either way, asked James and he said, "Yes ofcourse! Let's partayyyy!"

Over the course of the night at the dance Elise and James randomly really hit it off and then started dating roughly two months later. CRAZY! Then, almost two years into the relationship, James PROPOSES to Elise at Longwood Gardens in Pennsylvania - then it becomes another story...

Thanks for reading! We hope to see you at our celebration in July!!
