How we Met

by Jessica

"Waffles > Pancakes" That was the line on Ben's Tinder profile and apparently all I needed to swipe right. A few weeks of chatting later and we had plans to meet at a bar downtown before heading over to the Rockies game. I remember this night so well, running late from the office, slightly unexcited about going out on a "school" night, my dad in town and sleeping on my couch, and my phone battery at a whole 10% when getting ready to go see a stranger. When I finally got to the bar (probably two beers in for Ben already with how late I was) I walked up to this cute stranger and went in for a hug when he went in for the handshake. He then awkwardly proclaimed "now we get to discreetly check each other out!" That laughter was enough to break the ice and lead into a night of baseball, arcade bars, and running through a park at 1am.

Our Engagement

June 18, 2021

Jessica has an obsession with the moon. If she can see it in the sky she can't help but point it out "baby, look at the moon!" she will exclaim. While camping one June weekend down close to the New Mexico and Colorado border Ben suggested a moonlight walk down to the riverbank at the campground. While standing on the bank Ben said to Jessica "hey baby, look at the moon" and Jessica was more than happy to oblige. When she turned back around there was Ben, on one knee, surrounded by their dogs and the moonlight in their favorite space of Colorado wilderness. It was magic.
