In December 2022, Katy subbed for Ben's volleyball team at Marikkas (yes they won, with little help from Katy). Fast forward a month, with no contact, they matched on Bumble, where Katy had to message Ben first. Katy said "My pickup lines are as bad as my volleyball skills" thinking that Ben would remember how bad she was at volleyball..well he responded with "well how good are you at volleyball?" (aka Ben forgot they played together). After digging herself out of that one, Katy and Ben talked for a few weeks before having their first date at The Thirsty Fox in Lexington. Since then they have been attached at the hip. Ben and Katy got engaged in April 2024 at the Arboretum in Lexington. With both of them having a passion for travel, they decided on an intimate wedding in Portugal with those closest to them.
