Our Wedding

Though their paths may have crossed a few times around campus, Ben and Kelly didn't really get to know each other until their senior year at LVC when they finally had a Digi-Com class together. Then, it seemed like fate had them continuously meet: most notably when Ben saved Kelly from a bee near the sports center. Then there were movie nights with mutual friend groups, football Sundays, and Super-Smash Bros. tournaments. Slowly the two got to know each other as friends until it became official on December 1st, 2018.

how me met

Picture this: it's mid-March and a blizzard is looming over our weekend trip to Philadelphia. Kelly's brother, Mike, has invited the couple up for a weekend of escape rooms, good food, and an extra surprise for Kelly (though she didn't know at the time) at Longwood Gardens. Ben was secretly there the week before scouting the perfect spot to pop the question. Though the storm had frozen most of the outside at Longwood Gardens, the greenhouse was still beautiful and most importantly: warm. There, at the Bonsai Tree area, Ben got down on one knee and the rest is history!
