If you’re from Branford, CT you know how small the town is! Everyone knows everyone! Well somehow our paths crossed at a young age but never really made that much of an impact. Fast forward to 2014 and that completely changed! I moved back to CT after living in PA and came across a cute boy in a wheelchair named Ben. He literally followed me everywhere! Cute, but looking back I laugh at what a stalker move that was! We met and started dating all within weeks. I moved into his parents house and we became closer than ever! Years went by, we had our ups and downs and learned how to grow together as a unit. Eventually we got our own apartment together and started to save money for our first home! Then, March 19, 2019 happened. Coming home with groceries in tow I tell Ben how I have a surprise for him, it was just ice cream. Ben shouts from the bedroom he also has a surprise for me! If anyone knows me, I love junk so I thought it was just a little thing seeing how all I got him was ice cream! Well, it wasn’t a little thing, it was a ring! He pulls it out from under his pillow and yells SURPRISE! Will you marry me?! The first words out of my mouth were, “my nails aren’t done!” Obviously after the shock of what was happening I said YES! We moved and bought our first home in April 2019. So much was happening in our lives and I didn’t put much effort into getting a wedding planned, we thought we had all the time in the world. And then 2020 happened… everyone’s life was on pause. As much as I’d love to blame covid for pushing wedding planning back, I was just too lazy to do all the work. So now it’s 2022 and we finally said let’s make it official! So that brings us up to speed at where we are now in life! We have a house that we get to call home, we have great jobs that support our dreams and future, and we got a fur baby, LeRoi, who brings us endless happiness, joy, and love!!! I can’t wait to roll down the aisle with my best friend and to celebrate with family and friends!
