We are finally getting married!

We first crossed paths in the spring of 2014 at a house party while attending Macalester College. Though our conversation was brief that night, our connection grew in the fall of that year. Then, on October 4th, 2014 (yes, to the exact day!), we went on our first date—and the rest is history. Since then, our lives have been filled with love, laughter, and adventure. We’ve built a life together in St. Paul, Minnesota, alongside our two adorable cats, Charlie and Artemis, and our lovable dog, Ajax. Along the way, Ben earned his PhD in Computational Biology and now works as a data scientist, while Rae completed medical school and is now an Emergency Medicine physician. As we continue this journey together, we’re excited for all the adventures yet to come!
