Bea and Troy got introduced over FaceTime by the Matron of Honor, Glenda Carney. Many texts and phone calls later, Bea decided to fly down to Destin, FL to visit the beach (and Troy...). Shortly after, Troy deployed and they communicated over text message and snapchat for the next six months. Since Bea and Troy did long distance the first few years of their relationship, they got to travel to a lot of places together (Oregon, Jamaica, St. Lucia, Chicago, Northern Michigan, Washington D.C). Three years and a few deployments later, Bea and Benz moved down to Destin, FL and turned Troy's bachelor pad into a home (read: Bea sold Troy's furniture and bought new while Troy was gone 😬). On September 20, 2021, Troy proposed to Bea with help from Benz while they were on a walk by the bay together. We can't wait to celebrate with you at our wedding ceremony and reception in May!
