August 10 2019

Celebrating one wedding seemed a little lame. So we settled for two: One in the USA & one in Austria. We are excited to have you be part of our big day.

How to surprise your girlfriend with an engagement: ask her for the ring size the day before. What a day full of surprises in the middle of Canadian mountains.

After we parted our ways, we stayed in contact through the months. Christmas came around and we both ended up back in Wisconsin for the holidays. Let’s just say Raphi asked Ell out once more and Ell said yes.

At the end of camp, Raphi asked Ell out but she was about to move to British Columbia, Canada and so she needed time to figure things out. Meanwhile, Raphi moved back to New Orleans to finish his studies.

Thanks Josh Garrels

The day we found out that we both liked Josh Garrels might have changed our lives. Later in the summer, we found out that Garrels would be preforming not too far away. This concert became the first time we hung out outside of camp.

How we met

Raphi couldn’t leave the states and drove form New Orleans to Wisconsin to bridge a summer before his last year in Seminary. Little did he know that he would meet Ell.
