Candice and Ben met on February 14th 2012 in a Leadership and Theories class offered at Middle Tennessee State University. During the first week of class, they were paired to work together for a class project. Ben was very quiet and shy at first, but became exceedingly confident as he knew all the correct answer to everything the professor threw at them. After what appeared to be fate, they bonded over movies, humor, and world views. Once the requirements for the project was completed, Ben shyly found it in himself to ask Candice for a coffee date and the rest is how you say...history!
