We first met as freshmen at Hood College in 2018 where Ben played baseball and Cailyn played softball. What started as a friendship quickly turned into something more, even after Ben transferred to Muhlenberg College. Our first date was at Topgolf (naturally), and just a week later, Ben was Cailyn’s date to her friend Barron’s wedding, who’s now standing by her side as a bridesmaid! On October 3rd, 2020, Ben officially asked Cailyn to be his girlfriend, and from that moment on, we were inseparable. For years, we made long distance work. Ben spent countless weekends driving to Hood to be with Cailyn and never missed a softball game. Later, we made regular trips to visit each other throughout the duration of medical school. Despite being long-distance for 5 years, our relationship continues to grow stronger. Our love has been built on laughter, loyalty and lots and lots of long drives. Now, after years of making it work from miles apart, we are thrilled to finally close the distance and start this new chapter-together, forever.
