Ben and Hannah had their first date at a little restaurant called B-Side on December 12th, 2021. After only an hour of chatting together, they knew they had found something special. Ben loved Hannah's sense of humor, and Hannah loved that Ben was nice to the waitstaff - a sign of good character. There was still one more heart to win over: Ben had to meet Marcie, Hannah's long time four legged companion. Fortunate for all, they were instant friends. Confident in their growing relationship, they wasted no time cohabitating. For almost 4 years, Brighton Way in Manassas VA, was home. Just Ben, Hannah, and Marcie. They started to build a life together. Triumphs were celebrated, losses were mourned, plans were made, and love grew. Over time they've formed a bond so strong, they feel they can weather any storm as long as they have eachother. They will always look back fondly on the memories they shared in "Joseph's Technicolor Townhouse": late night video games, cooking marathons, lots of laughs, and most importantly, all the time they spent with Marcie, who passed in January of this year. She will always be a big part of their lives, and is missed every day. She knew Hannah would be in good hands with Ben. Both Ben and Hannah could have told you this marriage was happening after their first date ended, but good things come to those who wait. They are beyond excited for this next chapter in their story, and looking forward to the opportunity to say "I do" surrounded by so many loved ones.

Ben and Hannah have big plans for the future! New careers, a new home, and new adventures. For the past 2 years, Ben has been working towards his future career as a nurse. He is almost finished with his program, graduating in May. Hannah is leaving the wild world of office supply sales to follow her freelance dreams: photography, voice acting, and comedy. Immediately after the wedding, they'll be in the car and on the way to their new home: Rocklin, CA.
