We met through a mutual friend during our sophomore year at UW Eau Claire in spring of 2017. We quickly took a liking to each other as we discovered we had a similar sense of humor and enjoyed activities together such as going on walks in nature, watching sports (despite being Vikings and Falcons fans, do we enjoy pain?), spending time with friends, and playing games. After graduating college, due to our jobs, our relationship was long distance from 2019-2022. This was challenging at times, but ultimately strengethened us as a couple. In fall of 2022, we once again lived in the same city, which was very exciting for us. By the end of the year, we were ready to take the next step and did some ring shopping. One night in early December, while sitting next to the Christmas tree, Ben proposed and Hannah said "yes". So, here we are. We are beyond excited to begin our married life together. We're looking forward to share our wedding day with you.
