Our Wedding

Hi there! We met in person on May 20th, 2024. After talking a lot, Ben made the two hour trip from Eugene to Portland. We spent as much time as possible together on weekends, enjoying coffee shops, while Rekiah helped Ben study for his NCLEX exam to become a Registered Nurse. We bonded over shared childhoods growing up in church, a love of goofing off, and a desire to help people. Ben passed his test in August! He moved back to Milwaukie shortly thereafter. We have loved getting to know each others families, and friends who have become like family. We enjoy being involved at Sellwood Church. Ben proposed on November 16th, 2024. We are so excited to begin our lives together, with all our close family and friends. Some highlights from our relationship:   -Our first 'in person' date was going to brunch at Rekiah's favorite spot, La Provence, then a stop at Coava coffee, then a quick trip to Goodwill (we both love thrifting) and a final sweet walk up and around Mount Tabor. -Our second date was more spontaneous, we made 'Music that Shaped Us' playlists, and listened to them while we drove to Multnomah Falls. After hiking up that treacherous path, we made a last minute extra leg up to the Dalles to Spooky's, a pizza spot Rekiah knew of from her days at Camp Morrow(: -We love playing board games and play them together and with groups of friends/family -Rekiah got to see Ben play drums a couple times with Honey Brown Band, which was amazing. -We cooked together often when we got to see each other, food and nutrition are two passions we have. We love swimming and taking walks together(: - We’ve loved mini road trips to visit family. Finding good food and good coffee (and a rogue thrift store) are our favorite activities on such occasions.
