"This is what happens when you get drunk and bored on a Friday night." - Aliye
On a quiet Friday night in Napa, while home alone and enjoying a bottle of wine, Aliye decided to check out Bumble and matched with Ben. Three weeks later - after countless text messages- we met in person on February 16th, 2018. From then on there were countless adventures - hockey games, concerts, travel (Turkey, Mexico, Texas, New Orleans, Las Vegas, Nashville, and more), movies, musicals, plays, dinners out, and nights cooking in.
Six years later on February 16th, 2024 we eloped at the Mandalay Bay in fabulous Las Vegas. Now we can't wait to celebrate with you all on the weekend our first anniversary as a married couple.
