Ben and Meg first met on a hot June day in back in 2020. Meg went to pick up takeout from Mas Tacos and when Ben brought her soup out, he spilled it all over the table. He swears it was because he was distracted by her charm. Since they were both poets and had many mutual friends, the two kept in contact until they went on their first date August 10th, 2020, where (because we were still in the throes of a pandemic) they sat 6 feet apart on a blanket at Shelby Bottoms and talked for hours. Most of Nashville was still shut down, but Ben's boss, Teresa, let him open her other restaurant Wilburn Street Tavern (Meg's favorite bar) just for them to have their second date. They had the whole place to themselves! Ben brought pizza from FOLK, took polaroids, and they read each other poetry and made silly drinks for one another behind the bar. Meg knew right then & there she was in trouble... This guy was a keeper. Valentine's Day 2021 Meg went to Ben's house to ride out a snowstorm and never left. The two officially moved in together with their beloved fur babes, Rocky & Charlie, that same month and they've lived happily together ever since. We can't wait to celebrate our story with you, and to begin this new chapter with our community!
