Our story starts back in June of 2016, freshman orientation for Temple University. Fate would have it that we ended up in the same 10 person group together. Flash forward to spring of 2017, we reconnected in our college of public health classes. From then on, we developed a friendship. We spent early mornings in anatomy lab and late nights in the library together. By our senior year of college, our friendship developed into something more. In October 2019, we “unofficially” started dating. However, our story really began right before COVID hit in February of 2020. After five years together, Ben proposed to Nichola on November 16, 2024 at Morris Arboretum under the Red Wood trees (our favorite spot). Two years later, almost to the day, we will be tying the knot. We are overjoyed about this next chapter of our lives, and can’t wait to kick it off with you. Cincin!
