Our Wedding

Ben and Jia meet through the dating app Upwards. The first conversation was just the beginning of our love story. We did long distance for about a year until Ben decided to join Jia at college, Kuyper College. Ben joined Jia at Kuyper College in the fall of 2023, majoring in Youth Ministry, and her Interdisciplinary Studies. after a year, Ben decided to make the biggest move of his life. On October 15th, he knelt down on one knee and asked Jia to marry him, and of course she said Yes! They celebrated the day with friends and calling family to tell them the big news!
