Chris and Ely met when they were 17 years old in high school. Their first kiss was shared underwater at a lagoon. Ely moved in with Chris' family when they were 19. A few years later, they moved out and lived with roomates until they bought their own apartment in 2017 at 25 years of age. Now, exactly on their 15th anniversary, they are getting married and celebrating their legal union with their closest friends and family.
