We first met while attending Bloomsburg University, introduced through many mutual friends in Ben’s fraternity. We bonded instantly over our shared love of horror movies and fitness, and from that moment on, we became inseparable. For us, this was the perfect beginning. Our early dates were anything but ordinary—hiking to an abandoned bridge, late-night walks through old cemeteries, and, of course, plenty of college parties. As the years passed, we grew together, eventually moving into our first apartment in Danville, PA. Weekly date nights at Marley's or Old Forge (Bloomsburg and Danville essentials, if you know you know!) laid the groundwork for a lasting love, while Ben completed his Master's degree at Bloomsburg and Maddie began her nursing career at Geisinger in the Pediatric ICU - no small task! Then, during a trip to Colorado, while exploring the breathtaking Rocky Mountains, Ben popped the question! Since then, life has taken us on more adventures. We've vacationed in places like Stowe, VT, Provincetown, MA, Williamsburg, VA, and many more—each unique in its own way, yet all offering experiences that have allowed us to grow together. A move to Baltimore marked a new chapter of our professional lives, and we welcomed Elmer, a furry addition to our little family. Now, we’re ready for the next big chapter—officially tying the knot!

While we continue to work out the details for our special day, we wanted to share details on dates and accommodations before sending out the formal invites in a few months. This should ensure everyone has plenty of time to book and make arrangements as needed. More updates to come with the invites! Thanks everyone and cheers!
