They met second year at UVA in Cru campus ministries. Living in the same apartment building, they bumped into each other all the time, and everything just seemed to click. His sarcastic humor made her laugh, and her smile could brighten his day. Ben failed to use a planned pickup line but got her number for church. After a week of texting and a trip to the Haunt at King's Dominion, there was no turning back (even with Anna's upcoming semester abroad). They quickly made it official and very quickly fell in love, knowing almost immediately it was meant to be. A semester apart made their hearts grow fonder with daily facetimes despite the time difference. They continued their studies while their relationship continued to flourish and grow. They continued to center themselves and their relationship around the Lord, and they continue to make each other better people. They celebrated graduation together before celebrating an engagement shortly after. Ben proposed on July 2nd, 2024, and now they couldn't be happier. Ben and Anna are so excited to get married, to celebrate their love, and to continue to rely on God and trust His plan for their future.
