Our Wedding

How it all started

Ben: 6 years ago, Bryn and I sat in the same row for freshman year orientation. We didn’t know each other, but I remembered her as “girl with the camera” at Baylor’s Freshman Line Camp.   Bryn: I even have photos on my phone from orientation and Ben is in some of them. Fast forward to Baylor and all of our friends ran in the same crowd. We had classes together, passed each other in the hallways; Ben even parked at our house to make his walk to the business school a little shorter (he’d never come inside to say hi).    Ben: My roommates were good friends with Bryn and her roommates, so occasionally I would hang out over at their house, as she would ours, but we didn’t think anything of it until after college. I always thought she was the funniest one in the group.   Bryn: On September 17th 2023, I went to visit my sister, Heidi, and my college best friend, Kristen, in Waco. Little did I know Ben would be at my old college house hanging out with my friends. He sat next to me to ask about living in Dallas, as he would be moving there soon for work.   Ben: A couple questions turned into hours of conversation, which kept me up way past my bedtime. After debating with myself on whether I should text her or not, I decided to shoot my shot. And it worked.    Bryn: He knew telling me I was funny was the way to my heart. So he did just that. And now we're getting married.    Ben: Yep. After 10 long months of Bryn asking me if we could get married, I finally asked her. On October 27th, I asked her to be my wife! Bryn, I could not be more excited for the future we have together. The Lord has truly used you to make my life better, and I cannot wait to further His Kingdom with you!      Fun Fact: September 21st does actually have some importance to us. The song “September,” by Earth Wind & Fire is the song played on the Guardians of the Galaxy ride at Disneyworld, which was Bryn’s first time getting to be around Ben’s family so much. On that trip, she fell in love with his family too!
