Our Wedding

Elliot and I met on July 23rd, 2022 — one of the most special days of my life, my sister Talia’s wedding. Amid the joy and celebration, something unexpected and beautiful began- the day our own story began. On July 28th we went on our first date- Half Moon, Mini Golf, and a walk in Birds Hill.

Our Story

On August 6th, 2022. Elliot asked me to be his girlfriend, and from then on, we made it our little tradition to celebrate each month with cookies on the 6th.

Elliot and I recently got into golf and this has been one of our favourite things to do together!

If you know Elliot, you know that he loves all things related to hunting.

Another thing that we love to do together is fishing!
