We had met during undergraduate studies at Slippery Rock University of Pennsylvania. We were both biology majors and we took many classes together. It was junior year when we became very good friends. We had really bonded when we went on a group ski trip to Seven Springs and spent the whole day on the mountain together. Later that year, since we both went to the gym individually very often, we decided to go together practically every day. We realized that we had so much in common during those years. We stayed friends for the rest of undergrad, as we were both in separate relationships and knew we couldn't be with each other.... yet. We had, unfortunately, lost connection after graduating for 2 long years. Eventually, one day, we started talking more on social media, eventually calling each other and having hour long conversations. We immediately reconnected as if nothing had changed between us. Since then, the rest is history

Kayla had planned a trip to Disney, her favorite place in the whole world, with the two of us and two of our best friends from home, Eric and Ariel. Little did Kayla know that Ben had a little surprise up his sleeve for her on their last day at Disney. We were able to hit all four parks during our trip, saving Kayla's favorite park for last, Magic Kingdom. On the day of Magic Kingdom, Ben was acting super weird all morning. Kayla was thinking that something was different for some reason. He honestly looked like he was going to be sick all morning. It was about 2 hours into the day when we decided to take pictures in front of the castle. We first took our friend's picture, and then ... we got into position; the perfect position, for the perfect moment. It was then that Ben got down on one knee and said the magic words that would change our lives forever. The best moment of our lives.
