Camila and Ben met in Tallahassee as students at the Florida State University after Camila had befriended Ben's four-legged best friend, Buck, roaming a football tailgate party. They frequented football games, took Buck for long walks on the Tallahassee trails, and sometimes even studied together. After graduation, the couple moved to Camila's hometown of Pensacola where they continued to grow together, watched more FSU football games, introduced Buck to more trails, and went on hundreds of bike rides together. On December 18, 2022, Ben took Camila on the most special bike ride which concluded with a proposal on Pensacola Bay.
