They first crossed paths on a dating app, but Meka was too busy living life to notice any of Ben’s sweet messages or his persistence for over a year!
One day, she accepted a random friend request, not realizing it was him.
What began as a casual conversation soon turned into a genuine connection.
Despite her “no dating” rule, she agreed to one dinner.
On a warm September evening in 2022, they met at a cozy spot in State College. What started with first-date jitters and small talk turned into deep conversation, laughter, and stargazing from a rooftop parking deck. From there came dive bars, pool games, road trips, family introductions, and a first New Year’s kiss at midnight.
Fast forward to NYE 2023, beneath a sky full of fireworks aboard the Spirit of Philadelphia, Ben dropped to one knee and asked Meka to be his forever.
She said yes, and the rest is magic.
Below you will find multiple photos of their favorite moments, milestones, and memories that brought them here, together.
