Over the summer of 2017, we both stayed on GVSU's campus for the summer semester, Kara to take physics and do research and Ben for the start of his summer internship. One of Kara's summer roommates (and now bridesmaid) happened to be a friend of Ben’s, who introduced us to each other. She was quick to point out that we had actually grown up in the same hometown of Grand Ledge and gone to the same high school, and then promptly suggested that Ben should tutor Kara for her physics class since that was a strong area of his (and with other ulterior motives in mind). Ben was a phenomenal physics tutor, and it didn’t take long for us to notice our natural chemistry and for sparks to start flying!
