Benji and Lily first met at Concordia University Wisconsin, being on the same intramural sand volleyball team. Lily may have only showed up for one game, but their story did not end there. They became great friends and had deep conversations about Jesus, life, and how much they loved Star Wars and Disney. Lily ended up moving to Arizona the next year, leaving Benji behind. But even when they were far away, they helped each other through some of the toughest challenges life threw their way. When Lily came back to Wisconsin for the summer, their friendship was rekindled, and soon they fell in love. Benji and Lily facetimed for hours every day, and he would make a 2 hour drive frequently to see her. They started dating after a Bible study on the beach on July 24th. Sadly, less than a month later they had to start a long distance relationship because Lily had to go back to Arizona. He visited her in Phoenix, she flew home for fall, winter, and spring break. They facetimed every day and made the most of being 1,832 miles apart. When she came back for the summer, they made the most of every second. They went to Disney World, ate ice cream, played lots of games, and enjoyed the time they had. On July 21st, they went to celebrate their one year anniversary. Benji took Lily out for Cheesecake Factory, and afterwards, a Bible study on Klode beach. After the Bible study, Benji got down on one knee and asked Lily to share the rest of her life with him. She said yes, which leads them right here. They are so excited to write the rest of their love story each and every day, by saying yes to each other, forever and always.
