Welcome to our celebration! It all started with a few persistent texts and grew into something extraordinary. From late-night conversations during Ben’s night shifts to a cross-state move for Tripp’s vet school, we’ve faced distance, a pandemic, and countless challenges together. But through it all, our love has only grown stronger. Tonight, we’re overjoyed to share this special moment with the incredible people who’ve been part of our journey. Thank you for being here to celebrate the love that has shaped our story—let’s make tonight unforgettable!
For our anniversary, Ben made a reservation at Restoration Hardware in Charlotte, a place we later realized was just minutes away from our first home together. The atmosphere was perfect, with what felt like the entire staff in on the surprise. We were seated next to a stunning indoor fountain, and after a beautiful meal, Ben asked to take a picture. That’s when he got down on one knee and asked the question that changed everything: “Will you marry me?”
