Abby and Ben met when they were in college at Purdue University. They met through the Cooperative System (housing similar to Greek life). Abby lived in Shoemaker Cooperative for 3 years and Ben lived in Gemini Cooperative. Through this, they met at various events throughout their 4 years of college but it wasn't until they met up again their senior year and ultimately hit it off singing "Sweet Caroline" at Harry's (shoutout to the best bar on campus). From then on you could say they were inseparable. With college graduation quickly approaching and a lot of "adult" decisions coming their way. They decided that they wanted to stay together to tackle the adversity that was heading their way. Not knowing what was in store for their future they continued to fall in love and were determined to make as many memories as they could finishing out their college careers. All of a sudden they were struck with their first life-altering callenge in the spring of 2020 the second half of their last semester disappeared with a blink of an eye. Covid-19 made its impact and they were kicked off campus and denied college graduations. They were forced to make decisions about what their future would look like in a matter of days. An amazing opportunity sprung up and they packed up their lives and moved to Columbus Ohio where they have lived for the last 2 years. After lonnnnnng and hard consideration, Ben proposed on a ski trip on February 6, 2021. After many discussions, they have made the decision to move back home to Indiana so Abby could pursue her passion and work on her family's farm. They are so excited to start this new adventure and chapter in life together.
