We met during our first couple of days of college orientation at Bryn Athyn College. While eating dinner one evening that week, Ben walked up to me and a couple of new friends I was sitting with and asked, "Does anyone want to see a magic trick?" and I was instantly amazed. From then on, a boy from Pittsburgh and a girl from Philly grew closer together and became inseparable.
The day after Christmas, I was feeling the post Christmas blues after a wonderful holiday with family. When Ben and I returned home, I discovered a trail of rose petals that led to one of our many decor Christmas trees and on it hung a wooden heart ornament ring box. As I grabbed it off the tree, he took it from my hands and got down on one knee to ask me to marry him. And I, of course, said yes through all of my happy tears! We're so excited to share this next chapter of our lives with you. See you in December!
