In the spring of 2021, our paths crossed, and little did we know, it was the start of an incredible journey. Initially, it was just a casual encounter, but soon, an undeniable connection came to be. Our mutual love for music drew us closer together and we were each infatuated with each others goals and aspirations. Over the course of a few months, laughter echoed, adventures unfolded, and, of course, there was that classic tale of Ben navigating his way out of the friend-zone. It was a chapter filled with moments that solidified our bond. And then, the eagerly awaited moment arrived – our first date, marking the beginning of a beautiful relationship.

Ben crafted a sneaky plan to kick off the proposal when he smoothly persuaded Nesia to book a photoshoot, cleverly disguising it as a "Mother's Day gift" for our moms. Unbeknownst to her, Ben had been orchestrating this surprise with both families and our talented photographer, Kalen, for weeks. After a few postponed attempts due to rain, the eagerly awaited day had finally arrived. As we stepped onto the scene, Nesia remained blissfully clueless. Kalen, our accomplice, directed us to pose back to back for what seemed like an ordinary photo. But that's when the magic happened – with a swift drop to one knee, Ben turned the moment into pure enchantment. Amidst a mix of jumbled words, laughter, and sheer joy, Nesia couldn't resist but say yes to the beautiful twist that had unfolded. The carefully crafted plan had worked like a charm, making the engagement story a delightful tale of surprises and shared laughter.

As we stand on the brink of this new chapter, we reflect on the incredible moments we've shared over the past three years. It feels like just yesterday we started dating, and now, here we are, gearing up for the big day. It's pretty surreal. We're looking forward to celebrating this momentous occasion with all of you, our cherished friends and family, who've been a part of our lives and witnessed our journey. Your love and support mean the world to us. So, mark your calendars because it's almost exactly three years from the day we first met that we'll be saying our "I do's." We can't wait to create more memories and share this special day with the people who matter most to us.
