On a cool October night in Baton Rouge. Ben entered the room and quickly scanned the commotion to find Staci and as he strode towards her table, he saw an unfamiliar face sitting next to her. The stranger was small and delicate like a fairy. And she was cute, really cute. Maybe... the cutest. Meanwhile Elaine was deep in a momentous conversation with her girls about the next stages of their lives when suddenly she spotted him; dark, mysterious, and bathed in the warm glow of the neon bar light like a 90’s country song. Her heart fluttered, her mind raced, her whole being was dazed; she was hooked. She spent the rest of evening trying to charm him as well. The next week we went on our first date: Zippy’s! The next three years rushed by in a rambunctious blur: Netflix and Bob Ross, a roadtrip to Yellowstone National Park (12 states in 6 days!), Ben’s first professional DSLR camera and all of the photo sessions, Elaine’s dessert order at BRQ (ask her about the carrot cake), trading in her old trusty Corolla “Belinda” for a new Mazda, an exciting two week tour of Paris, to this year’s COVID-19 lockdown. This October we’re starting the next exciting chapter of our lives! We thank you for your ongoing love and support – each of you has made a lasting impression on us and we look forward to celebrating this day with you. Please join us on October 17th to watch us commemorate our love for one another, enjoy a few drinks and party well into the night!
