We met on the first day of our fourth year at the University of Virginia at Intervarsity's "123 Days Until Christmas" party. We quickly realized we had a lot in common after talking about our summers spent as camp counselors at Kanakuk and our shared interest in doing a Fellows program. Shortly after, Ben started "conveniently" showing up at group hangouts with Ellie (thanks to our mutual friends), and eventually they went on their first date. When Ben asked Ellie to get ice cream and then drinks downtown, she knew he was a keeper! Fast-forward though graduation, a year apart both completing separate Fellows programs, and now a year spent together in Charlottesville, we are so excited to be getting married!! Ben will be in Greenville, SC finishing up his first year of medical school, and Ellie will be finishing up her master's degree in student affairs at UVA during the year before the wedding. We can't wait to get married and start our life together in Greenville! God is good!
