Like many modern love stories, ours began with a swipe on Hinge in July 2021 and a first date at a very questionable bowling alley. But between Ben’s gutter balls, plenty of laughter, and a little playful competition (yes, Kristin won), something just clicked. Since then, we’ve shared adventures near and far—from traveling to visit friends and family and sipping piña coladas on the beaches of Mexico and the Caribbean to spontaneous Vegas trips (where Kristin somehow always brings Ben luck at the tables and penny slots). But our favorite adventure so far has been bringing home Zeus—our sweet pup, constant source of joy and the happiest third wheel we could ask for. On December 31, 2024, we celebrated the perfect proposal by quite literally “ringing” in the new year (and Kristin’s birthday!) in Punta Cana. Now, we can’t wait to begin the next chapter of our love story with all of you on May 16, 2026!
