We met on the Upward Christian Dating App in late February 2024. After going on several dates, we officially started dating on March 9th, 2024. Throughout the spring and summer, we went on many adventures with one another ranging from visiting the zoo, going on walks, picking strawberries/making jam, and going up to northern MN for a day, to planting our own garden at Ben's house from seed, exploring Minnehaha Falls, paddle boarding, rock hunting, metal detecting, playing games, creating artwork, antiquing, studying the Bible, attending church together, and spending time with family and friends. On September 7th, 2024, Ben took Beth on a surprise adventure that led them to Minnehaha Falls and he proposed. We are ecstatic to celebrate God's provision in our lives and our future marriage with you!
