It all began in 2019 during our senior year of high school. Ben was on the soccer team at Trinity Collegiate School, and Cassidy was a student at West Florence High. We first started talking at one of her brother’s soccer games, and from that moment on, we were smitten.

Even though we ended up going to rival colleges — Ben to Clemson University and Cassidy to the University of South Carolina — we stuck together through it all. Four years of game days, road trips, late-night calls, and countless memories led to us graduating in 2024, stronger than ever.

Then, on March 1, 2025, Ben asked the easiest question Cassidy’s ever answered — and just like that, we were engaged!

Now, we’re so excited to start our new life together in the place where it all began: Florence, South Carolina. We can’t wait to celebrate this next chapter with all of you!
