The Start of Forever

We first crossed paths in the halls of Weber High School — just a quick moment, but enough for Benjamin to notice something special. A little while later, we reconnected at a concert, and sparks started to fly. Not long after, we spent an entire night talking at a graduation party, realizing how much we clicked. By the time college rolled around, it felt only natural to start dating — and we’ve been inseparable ever since. At the University of Georgia, our connection grew through late-night talks, shared study sessions, and our love for live music. From the beginning, we’ve balanced each other perfectly. Benjamin brings steady love, loyalty, and goofiness. Raye Claire adds sweetness, spontaneity, and sparkle. Together, we’ve built a relationship rooted in laughter, respect, and deep connection — plus a shared love of good food, long walks, gym dates, and dressing up just for fun. We love exploring new places, going to the movies, trying every restaurant in town, and spending time with our very spoiled Dalmatian, Mardi. (Let’s just say Raye Claire won the breed debate.) Benjamin proposed during a stunning Malibu sunset, on the rocks overlooking the ocean. It was quiet, thoughtful, and full of love — followed by a surprise dinner and an unforgettable night at a beautiful hotel nearby. This life we’ve built together is more than we ever imagined, and we can’t wait to celebrate our next chapter with all the people who’ve been part of the journey.
