Intro

First come braces, then comes marriage.

Ben and Allie met in high school back in 2003. With Ben being all of 5'4, 135 lbs, a mouth full of metal, and a squeaky voice he didn't catch her eye quite yet. Despite the early lack of romance they ran with the same group of friends all 4 years. Over time they learned to share a passion for sports, filling water bottles with their parents bottom shelf vodka, Googling ailments to skip work for a beach day, and on the job training of how to properly give Hampton PD a sobriety test in the playroom. They were at almost every high school event together and graduated as close friends when they set off to two different colleges. Little did they know their paths would cross again down the road.

The Glory Days

Babe...I think we're poor.

After Graduation Ben went to take on the real world in Boston while Allie traveled to South Africa to save the world. Upon her return, as fate would have it, they ran into each other at Bleacher Bar and the rest is history. Ben was looking to fill a vacant room in his apartment and Allie, in need of a roof, moved in days later. Over time, the 10 year friendship became a Nicholas Sparks love story. After moving 4 times, living in the world of coupons and ramen, and making lifelong memories we took our talents to the Big Apple.

Epilogue

New Love City

We moved to NYC January 1, 2016 without knowing anyone. We both knew absolutely nothing about the city or what to expect and leaned on each other to take on this journey. It ended up being one of the best decisions we ever made and we experienced the best times of our life...together. We learned to love Brooklyn, hate tourists, call the T the subway, be snobs about restaurants, irrationally rescue a 6 week old puppy (who ended up being 80 pounds), and made friends from every corner of the world. It was in NYC when Ben realized he couldn't imagine doing this with anyone else. He talked with Bama and they took Allie to her favorite childhood spot on the beach. Ben would ask his best friend to be his wife, which will become a reality on September 7th.
