Ben & Margo had their first date on September 18th, 2019 at Black Dog BBQ in Champaign IL. Margo was a junior and Ben was a senior at The University of Illinois at the time. At the end of the night, Margo had a feeling Ben was her future husband! The two instantly hit it off and soon became inseparable. On November 30th, 2021, Ben proposed to Margo in the same spot where they sat and talked on their first date. They have experienced raising a service dog, a global pandemic, college graduations, new jobs & graduate school in their time together and now are SO excited for their wedding!
