Ben and Liandra met officially their first year of college in University of Minnesota, 2011. Despite taking several classes and living in the same dormitory floor, they didn't actually meet until spring of 2013. After Liandra helped Ben parallel park his family's minivan in Minneapolis, they began to hang out in earnest. Quickly, they discovered a shared passion for music and literature. Nearly 10 years later, they plan on celebrating the life they have made for and with each other by making it official. April 30, 2023 is just the beginning!
