Lizzie & Bennett

About Us

The Wedding Website of Bennett Karcz and Lizzie Goodwin

Lizzie and Bennett met in the fall of 2018 at Lucky's 1313, a bar on the UW-Madison campus. The two hit it off very quickly, but their relationship turned into long distance while Lizzie studied abroad in Italy that spring semester. The two survived long distance and bonded over their love for travel and adventure. Lizzie and Bennett have spent the past couple of years working remotely and living in several different states. They have been on many road trips together and Bennett patiently lets Lizzie stop at any roadside attraction. They have even had international adventures to Ireland and Iceland. Their favorite things to do on their travels include hiking, trying new beers and immersing themselves in local culture. Their favorite places to travel are National Parks and they have been to 25 National Parks in the US. Enjoy pictures from their adventures below!
