Nashville, here we come!

Sure, Ben grew up on Long Island, but after living in Austin for two years, he’s 100% convinced he’s an honorary Southerner. Meanwhile, Amanda’s roots trace from the Philadelphia suburbs all the way down to Nashville’s Vanderbilt University, making her own claim to a bit of Southern cred. Together, they’re a fun mash-up of bagels and brisket, country music and cheesesteaks. They felt like Nashville was the perfect place to bring together their friends and family to have an epic celebration with a side of Southern Charm.

New Allegiances

Ben was living the hipster, Peter Pan lifestyle in Williamsburg before he met a sharp-witted, PA-born medical student who was on her way to a residency at Penn. Their first date in the Big Apple was enough to spark a flame, but the real challenge was yet to come: Amanda not only convinced Ben to pack up his NYC life and follow her to the City of Brotherly Love, but she also somehow turned this born-and-bred New Yorker into an Eagles fan. Now, he’s traded in his New York team allegiances for kelly green—and every so often, as he dozes off, Amanda swears she hears him whisper, “Go Birds,” with a sleepy grin on his face.

Our Best Friend

As if meeting “the one” wasn’t exciting enough, Ben also brought along his furry buddy, Scout — a four-year-old whoodle whose charm is as big as his fluff. While Amanda had to adjust to not one but two new roommates, she grew to love Scout’s playfulness, intelligence, undeniable sex appeal, and impeccable timing for cuddles. Now, Amanda proudly refers to Scout as her “perfect boy” and both of the couple's parents love to spoil him whenever he’s on vacation at their homes.

The Proposal

While on a secluded getaway in a state park outside of Austin, Ben decided to pop the question in true Lone Star style. It just so happened they stumbled upon a traditional Texas two-stepping venue earlier in the evening, giving the couple a chance to show off their moves. Despite their athleisure noticeably not quite matching the worn denim, cowboy boots, and hat aesthetic -- the moment still felt like the perfect setup for a romantic proposal. A hush fell over the Texas hills as Ben asked Amanda to marry him.
