Back in the Fall of 2019, we both chose to access a known website called Match.

Scott was moving to a new town for a new job and chose to join as a distraction.

Elise was joining because family was encouraging her to try "one more time".

Scott was leaving for a new brewing opportunity in Indiana and chose the location he was moving to. Leading up to the day he was to move he was notified that he was no longer needed there. In that time of limbo he switched his location back to the STL area.

Elise was being encouraged by her mother and sister to try the dating site just one more time. "We will pay for it" they said.

Within a 4 day window of Scotts location being set to STL they matched. Numerous messages were exchanged during that time, but shortly after Elise realized that his location reflected Indiana. Scott ended up moving to Indiana to fulfill that job after all. Not sure what to think about the new situation, Elise decided to continue communication.

Scott was coming home from Indiana for Thanksgiving weekend to see family. He asked if she would like to meet. She was unsure of his intentions behind it because he didn't live here anymore. Reluctantly she agreed. They agreed to meet in the middle at a brewery in North County Florissant.

The connection was almost instantaneous. Conversation flowed effortlessly as the night passed.

Just about every weekend Scott made his way back to see Elise and in January of 2020 it became official.

After a couple of years of dating they went on a group vacation with friends in Breckenridge, CO. On February 22nd of 2022 is when Scott proposed to Elise.
