Emma and Ben’s story is filled with love, laughter, and a partnership that has only grown stronger over time. Together, they’ve built a life full of support, fun, and adventure, always choosing each other through every stage along the way. Surrounded by family and friends who have cheered them on from the beginning, they feel incredibly grateful for the path that led them here. Their story officially began sophomore year of college, though Ben’s quiet crush started a year earlier when they shared a class together. He never said a word — though in his defense, Emma didn’t exactly make perfect attendance a priority. Fate finally stepped in during August 2020 at a fraternity party (proof that sometimes the most lasting relationships can begin in loud rooms with sticky floors and warm beer), and by October, Ben asked Emma to be his girlfriend. From that point on, they’ve been inseparable. Together, they navigated the rest of college and the early years of adulthood — late-night studying, first cars, new jobs, and all the little moments that quietly turn into a life. Over time, their plans grew from day-to-day fun to bigger dreams of building a home, starting a family, and creating a future side by side. On September 19, 2025, Ben asked Emma to marry him in a way that felt perfectly true to them, and she said yes. Now they are beyond excited to begin their next chapter as husband and wife and continue doing life the way they always have — together.
