Our Story
We met on Friday, September 3rd, 2021 on campus at Thomas Aquinas College. I (Jocelyn) was a freshman, and Ben was a junior. I passed by a bench where Ben sat reading, said "Good evening!", and we briefly introduced ourselves. Ben reportedly made a mental note of me as "friendly blonde", and strategically asked me to dance the following night at my first college swing dance. After dancing, we talked for 4 hours straight (at some pointing leaving the dance to hear each other better). Over the next few days Ben invited me to some casual hangouts, and soon enough, asked me to be his girlfriend.
We've been together ever since! We'll be married in the parish Jocelyn has attended since childhood. This parish is special to Ben too, as he is a teacher in the associated school!
We look forward to settling in Boonton, NJ, where Ben teaches at Our Lady of Mt. Carmel School, neighboring the Topor family.
