We met in middle school when Ben "accidently" dropped his books from his locker to be able to talk to Linnea. Our relationship, though, didn't start until we fell in love in high school at the age of sixteen. Since then, our relationship has taken many forms, such as navigating long-distances and life's many curveballs. We are grateful to have gone through many life experiences and grown up with each other. Our relationship has only grown stronger from moving to New York and supporting each other while pursuing our lifelong dreams. In the spring of 2019 on a trip to Morocco, Ben proposed to Linnea on a sunny rooftop in Marrakech! We are so excited to finally (!!) get married after 11 years of dating and a longer than expected engagement due to Covid-19. We can't wait to celebrate our relationship and love with you in the Columbia River Gorge. From the start of our relationship, we spent many hours getting to know each other while exploring Oregon's natural beauty. It seems fitting after all these years to be able to celebrate our love in the type of space that helped blossom our early relationship!
