Rachel and Benjamin first met on Hinge after Benjamin shot his shot using a cheesy pick up line that Rachel fell for hook line and sinker. After many weeks of chatting Rachel built up the courage to accept the date Benjamin asked her on a week earlier. They met in person in one of Rachel’s favorte places to be, old Ellicott City, on a warm April day in 2021. They sat in the patio of Manor Hill Tavern until it was too dark and they were the last table occupied. It was a successful first date and the rest is history. Benjamin proposed to Rachel in Tennessee on 9/19/24 while they were celebrating Benjamin’s good health after he had a health scare at the start of summer. They both love spending time with their families and having new adventures together, but their most favorite thing to do is just being together and relaxing with “their” dog Olivia. Benjamin won’t admit it but he likes having the cat (Stella) around too.
