We've known each other since we were very young. We grew up in the same church, our parents were in the same small group and have been friends for probably twenty years. We have been hanging out with mutual friends for about 6 of those, but it took until the summer of 2024 for us to really connect and start dating. Ever since then, we've been nearly inseparable, and it was clear to both of us early on that we were going to get married. Fast forward to a friend trip to Alabama in May of 2025, Ben proposed to Stacy on a beach walk after dinner one night. With many cheers from our friends (and some people on a nearby resort balcony), Stacy obviously said yes. We hope you'll join us in celebrating the best day of our lives!
