On August 23, 2016, Kasey walked into a work appointment at one of her State Farm agent offices. That morning she and the agent discussed things as normal and the agent introduced her to his new hire, Ben Weeks. She shook his hand, smiled and went on with her job, but in that moment Ben was starstruck in love. When Kasey left, Ben went and asked one of his colleagues, "Who was that girl?". Over the next few months, Kasey would come into the office, as she always had, for monthly meetings, all while Ben continued to fall more and more in love each time. Fast forward about a year, there was a shift in company leadership. Kasey was single and Ben was rocking a snazzy new blazer at an after work gathering. A few days later, Ben called Kasey for the first time and pretended to have a work question. After she answered the pretend question, he dropped his sales pitch, asking her on their first date, to a Blues hockey game. For the next three years, they decided to be good friends and continued to relish in one another's accomplishments and dreams. During this time, they loved finding new restaurants together, chatting about life, sharing Pandora playlists and enjoying bottles of red wine. Over those years, Ben was the most persistent and thoughtful man, but Kasey was being her hard-headed self and wouldn't give in to his persistent ways. It wasn't until that fateful night in September of 2020, that Kasey had an epiphany. She was in fact in love with Ben. She immediately text and told him she was taking him to dinner for his birthday. And on Friday, October 2, 2020, that was it. Their third first date, as they like to joke, started the beginning of forever.

On Friday, June 25, 2021, Ben dropped to one knee, while the sun set over Chandler Hill Vineyards in Defiance, Missouri, asking Kasey to marry him. It was the perfect evening, filled with the most perfect of things; California Cabernet, a charcuterie board, beautiful scenery and lots and lots of love. And in true K+B fashion, horrible photos…we are working on that!
