it started on a cold, karaoke thursday at morey’s where taylor offered to get ben a drink & he vehemently declined. a week later (after many, MANY back-and-forths from our closest friends), taylor subtweeted ben & he hit her up with some sweet quotes from ‘The Office’ that had her laughing until the wee hours of the morning. we had our first date at starbucks, then we moved it to a bar after starbucks closed. we got late-night snacks at perkins after that, where ben learned of taylor’s insatiable need to eat fries off of other people’s plates, even after insisting she wasnt hungry. we both knew from date number three that this was it. we had found the person that we intended to spend our life with. on december 16, 2019, we welcomed our beautiful baby girl, maren. that brings us here.
