Karen had just moved to Nashville and started working at the Marriott when only a few weeks later she noticed the new Front Desk guy, Ben. Inevitably they started to hang out and get to know each other in and out of work. They were drawn to each other's curious, adventurous energy and their mutual love for music, travel, and food. All of a sudden they were crushing! The way the hotel was set up there was a grand staircase that wrapped around from where Karen's office was on the second floor to where the front desk/Ben's office was on the first floor. Every time she would come down that staircase her heart would flutter a little knowing he could be there. They continued to develop their relationship, and next thing they knew they were making travel plans together. Ben invited Karen to Lollapalooza, while she invited him to Bonnaroo, and they even drove across the country on a roadtrip heading west. After a few years of being super close friends, they became official! Since then they have experienced so many incredible milestones together. They moved across the country from Nashville to Los Angeles. Have a handsome fur-baby, Walter. Traveled to so many new places. More Music Festivals and Concerts. New adventures and new cities. So many challenges that truly make you closer. They feel so lucky to have met and can't wait to celebrate their love with all of their friends and family!
