Sadie and Ben met while attending separate colleges in Conway, Arkansas, at 18-years-old. A week after the first time they met, they began a beautiful and fun-filled relationship that would last throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, Bachelor’s degrees, corporate jobs, and raising a pug. Throughout it all, they’ve been a source of stability, laughter, and love for one another. After six and a half years together on July 17, 2025, Ben proposed to Sadie on the white sandy beaches of Gulf Shores, Alabama, in an intimate set up. They are over the moon to finally be engaged and can’t wait to start their lives together.
