Thank you to our amazing photographer, Kelsie Herzog, for providing many of the amazing pictures in this gallery. She is the best!!

The day Ben and Cal brought Slipper and Smells home... one of the best decisions they have ever made!

Ben and Cal's first (of many) couple's costumes over the years :)

Non-marbled cake for Benji's Bday with Callie's family in Elmhurst

Callie and Ben fell in love with the EZ Inn on Western Ave in Chicago from the very first time they went. Since then, they have had Ben's bday, their engagement party, and engagement photos there!

Callie has the best view on lazy Sunday mornings

Rare sighting of Benji agreeing to get on Callie's back for a photo -- he is always scared he will tear both of her ACLs simultaneously crippling her permanently.

Ben wearing Callie's sweater, the shoes Callie bought him, the pants Callie bought him, Callie's socks... you get the idea.

Callie takes a goofy photo like this every time she and Benj are waiting for the 94 bus on California.

Cal and Benji at their beloved friend's/family member's (Carolyn and Sam) wedding in beautiful CO

Ben and Callie popped up to Niagara Falls, NY for Callie's birthday when they lived in Cleveland... it was closer than driving to Chicago!

Ben was obsessed with Callie from the second that he met her. He said that when she walked up he thought "I'm in trouble.." He framed this Snapchat and gave it to her as their very first Xmas present.

Benji and Callie in Argentina enjoying 6 too many glasses of red wine with the gauchos. (Ben's second time visiting Argentina!)

Huuuuuuuuuuge Illini Goobers (just ask JB!). Callie and Ben had season tickets for the Illini Men's Basketball Team while Callie was in grad school at U of I #everydayguys

The overall twins with their fully grown kitty cats

Ben and Cal at Pitchfork where they saw Phoebe Bridgers (amazing). Callie kept facing Ben and saying "This is the real show" while looking at him (barf)

Cal and Ben on their first weekend getaway in Milwaukee. The PBR brewery tour was significantly better than the walking ghost tour. Callie also had a raging sinus infection (par for the course!)

Ben fearlessly followed Callie through the Midwest from Urbana, IL to Cleveland, OH while she completed her externship training and then to Chicago, IL a year later

Calling Kathy B after Ben proposed to Callie in Humboldt Park. She was totally surprised. Ben had overnighted a placeholder ring because he just "couldn't wait any longer" to put a ring on Cal's fingy
