Ben and Paige met first year of dental school. Neither one of them ever expected to date in their dental class. They shared many mutual friends that led them on a tubing day trip on the Salt River. They became fast friends. As they continued to get to know each other, Ben asked to take Paige out on a date. It wasn't until 4 months later she got her second date (thank you Valentine's Day). The rest is history.

Ben told Paige he had planned a birthday dinner for her on August 9. They drove to CopperWynd Resort for dinner. Ben had a birthday card for Paige but wouldn't let her open it until sunset (suspicious). As they enjoyed their drinks, Ben let Paige open her card and she immediately knew what was happening. She began to hyperventilate. They went out to take their sunset photos and Ben got down on one knee and proposed. They enjoyed the rest of the evening newly engaged.
