One weekend in August of 2017, two fine single people happened to match on bumble. After a few weeks of talking, Rebekah finally made Ben drive down from Columbia to go on a date with her in Charleston. First stop was The Alley downtown for a little bowling, of course Ben demolished Rebekah in that. That's when the competitiveness started to come out. After the Alley, came Famularis on James Island for a little brewski and snacks. Once they finished food, the final stop was Gene's Haufbrau. Rebekah finally kicked Ben's butt in darts, but he came back and demolished her in pool. Last but not least, what sealed the deal was Rebekah's knowledge of beer.....she schooled him.
Beautiful day on Sullivan's Island with their closest friends, Ben waited until the very end to take Rebekah to the water for one last "swim". On the way back, Ben mentioned that the same lighthouse they were at was the same lighthouse Rebekah's brother-in-law proposed to her sister at. Then came the question, "what if I proposed to you too". With a lot of OH MY GOD, and this is really happening from Rebekah, Ben got down on one knee, with everyone on the beach yelling and cheering. Best day ever
