Our Story

It all began on September 17, 2022, when two enthusiastic lawyer wannabes first noticed each other. Sitting only a few seats apart, they were told their future spouse was in that very room little did they know it would prove prophetic. In mock trial, you pretend to be lawyers, but for Ben and AJ, the feelings were real. She was his witness, and he was her attorney, but as fall turned to winter, he became hers and she became his on January 7, 2023. Since then, they’ve been on an adventure—rushing the ASU football field, exploring the Renaissance Festival, and taking trips to Sedona and California. Along the way, they graduated college, started new jobs, studied for the LSAT together, and celebrated their law school acceptances. All of it has led to August 1st, where they will commit their lives to one another. Todo comenzó el 17 de septiembre de 2022, cuando dos entusiastas aspirantes a abogados se encontraron por primera vez. Sentados a tan solo unos asientos de distancia, escucharon que su futuro esposo o esposa se encontraba en ese mismo salón; sin imaginarlo, aquellas palabras resultarían proféticas. En el mock trial interpretaban el papel de abogados, pero entre Ben y AJ los sentimientos fueron genuinos. Ella era su testigo y él su abogado, pero con el paso del otoño al invierno, su historia tomó un giro especial: el 7 de enero de 2023, dejaron de interpretar roles para convertirse el uno en el otro. Desde entonces, han compartido una hermosa aventura: desde correr juntos al campo en un partido de fútbol americano de ASU, hasta explorar el Renaissance Festival y viajar a Sedona y California. En el camino, se graduaron de la universidad, iniciaron nuevas etapas profesionales, estudiaron juntos para el LSAT y celebraron sus admisiones a la facultad de derecho. Cada paso los ha conducido hasta el 1 de agosto, el día en que unirán sus vidas para siempre
