We are getting married

Our story began in July 2022 at Queen’s Beach in Hawaii, where Nanna, who was raised in Japan and Maui, had recently moved from Texas to study at Chaminade University. Her friend Vanessa introduced her to the beach volleyball community, where she met Benjamin, a friendly guy from Utah who had been stationed in Hawaii since 2021 for the military. After Nanna started playing indoor volleyball, she stopped going to the beach, but Benjamin continued coming every weekend from Mililani. One day, he texted her, saying, “Yoooo, I want to come watch a game sometime,” and soon invited her to the beach, offering to pick her up if she didn’t come. Their friendship grew stronger over winter break, when they spent nearly every day hanging out with a small group of friends, playing volleyball, eating, and talking stories. By March 11, 2023, Benjamin asked Nanna to be his girlfriend with a heartfelt message on his phone. That's how we stated dating. we have similar personality, we laugh so much together, we love our family, we love joking around a lot. we went to Japan, Italy, Utah together. On July 15th 2024, ben proposed me In Velona, Italy. we knew we meant for each other and we love each other Always and Forever.
