We’re tying the Knox!

Our story began on Halloween night at a party hosted by Shelby’s best friend—one of those nights you never expect to change your life. Shelby wasn’t quite ready to start a relationship, but Ben was sure of one thing: he wanted to get to know her. What started casually turned into something neither of us could ignore. One night, we began talking and somehow ended up on FaceTime until the sun came up, laughing, learning each other, and realizing there was something special unfolding. The very next afternoon, Ben picked Shelby up, and in true us fashion, we decided our first date should be at a gun range (safe dating… right?). It was unconventional, a little bold, and perfectly us. That night, Shelby met some of Ben’s closest friends, instantly feeling welcomed and at home. The following day, she met his mom—and from that moment on, everything just clicked. From the beginning, our relationship felt steady, grounded, and effortless. There was no rush, no uncertainty—just a quiet confidence that this was right. What started as an unexpected meeting turned into a love that feels safe, genuine, and deeply rooted. We’re so grateful for the way our story began, and even more excited for everything still to come.
