Ben and I first met when I was in middle school and he was in high school. Our older siblings introduced us, and soon, we found ourselves talking more and more each day. I eagerly anticipated a friend's birthday party, knowing it would be the first time we'd sit across from each other, not realizing how much our lives would change from that moment on. That’s when our relationship began. We spent countless hours together, going on dates and cherishing every moment until Ben left for college. When he told me he’d be attending a school six hours away, I was heartbroken. But deep down, I knew that if it was meant to be, it would all work out. Little did I know, I would end up at the very same college just a few years later. Fast forward to Auburn, where we created unforgettable memories football games, ice cream runs, and cozy date nights. It was during this time that I realized Ben was the one I was meant to spend my life with. I had always dreamed of our wedding day, and now, it’s almost here. We can’t wait to celebrate with all those who have supported us over the past eight years. We’re so excited to share this next chapter with everyone on our big day and hope to see you there!
