Benjamin and Nicole have known each other since 2012, when nicole was carpooling to choir practice with his mom. For 8 years their perception of each other wasn’t too great. For some reason in 2020, Beni grew to be quite fond of her. As the years went by Beni decided to not pursue until the right moment. That moment came in April 2023 when Beni sent Nicole the first of many anonymous letters and flowers. Over the next month Beni would send 5 more letters until he revealed that it was him. At the end of May 2023 Beni asked Nicole to be his girlfriend. Although Nicole moved to Texas for her first year of college they continued dating. When she returned for Christmas break Beni proposed in a small clearing near Mt. Hood. With the Lord’s guidance and blessings that leads us to where we are today.
