On a night that started with cheap drinks, loud music, and no plans of finding "the one," we met at our favorite dive bar in Ames, Iowa. What began as a fun night out quickly turned into shooting pool, getting to know each other, and Mahayla rejecting Ben's one-liners. However, she did give him her number, and Ben didn't hesitate to reach out the next day. A few years later, here we are. We have had the privilege of sharing some of life's biggest moments with each other. From graduating college, to starting careers, to welcoming our sweet fur baby, Dottie, and buying our first home, we did it all together. Through the fun and chaos, we've always been each other's constant. Between cheering on the Cyclones, creating countless memories, and sharing endless laughs, we've truly made a life we love and are so excited to continue it as husband and wife. We can't wait to celebrate with each and every one of you!
