Plath comes from a similarly religious, super conservative background to her in-laws (although apparently it wasn't quite as strict, as YouTuber Without A Crystal Ball revealed following an interview with her). She and Ethan got married in October 2018, with their wedding website confirming they met at a Christian family summer camp back in 2014, after which their relationship grew in spite of the physical distance between them. Their first date was in 2016 and involved Olivia coming to stay with the Plaths. Ethan proposed in 2017.
Although their courtship reads as very sweet and straightforward, Plath described in an interview with People how Ethan's parents, particularly Kim, made her feel very uncomfortable right from the outset. "Even when Ethan and I were dating, I was criticized for what kind of toothpaste I used, or what I ate, or what I wore, or what I did. I feel like I was constantly critiqued," she revealed, admitting visiting the Plaths gave her a knot in her stomach.
