It all began the way many modern love stories do: online. For their first date, Ben and Hannah met at Anita’s, an Israeli ice cream shop, and spent the afternoon exploring the Met Museum. From the very beginning, everything felt easy, comfortable, and just right. Not long after, life took an unexpected turn. Ben and Hannah spent nine months apart, navigating a long-distance relationship due to the war in Israel. Despite the distance, they found meaningful ways to stay connected. Ben visited Hannah in the Dominican Republic during the winter, and she traveled to Israel in the spring. On a beautiful beach in Israel, surrounded by candles arranged by Ben’s childhood friends and with their song playing in the background, he proposed. It was a moment filled with love, meaning, and magic. Now, they cannot wait to celebrate the next chapter of their journey with all of you.
