Anna met Ben when she entered the 7th grade at T.A. Howard Middle School. Ben was in the 8th grade at the time and they both were trombone players in the school's top band. From there they both continued to play for the Summit High School Band in concert, jazz and marching. They both deepend their friendship in high school which only continued to grow in college.

Ben and Anna reunited at the University of Texas at Arlington in a student organization called the Fellowship of Christian University Students (FOCUS). There they both strengthened their love for God and built lasting friendships within their community.

Ben asked Anna to go on a date with him during the summer of 2022. Anna, having known she loved Ben since the 7th grade, happily agreed to it. The two would continue to go on dates for a month before deciding it was about time to make things official after all these years. The rest of course became history!
