Ben and Christina met 6 years ago in a beautiful, amazing tropical setting “aka” Longhorn Steak house. Christina’s co-worker knew Ben and insisted that the two of them meet. She thought they would be perfect together. Ben was not in search of love at the time, he had no interest in dating, but decided to give Christina a call. They ended up talking for over 45 minutes (Christina was surprised because no one calls these days, it’s always a text)

Ben decided to show up while Christina was working and the rest is history. They went on a date the very next day. On their date they joked about bens blackjack tattoo and INSTANTLY planned a weekend getaway to Atlantic City. Christina thought “What? How random?” (Anyone who knows Ben knows his love for Atlantic City)

24 hours later he picked her up and they headed off to New Jersey. They had the best time watching Ben make a run at glory playing blackjack!

But wait there was one huge problem, Ben had 3 dogs !!! Anyone who knows Christina knows she was petrified of dogs. PETRIFIED! How could this work? Ben took his time introducing her to each dog individually, teaching her how to feel comfortable around them. After only 15 minutes with Ace, Magic and Dory, that fear soon became a love and bond that will never be broken. Now she loves the dogs almost as much as Ben (if that’s even possible). Besides that, and having to overcome how stubborn they both were, they were on the fast track to an everlasting love :)

They purchased a home together and created so many amazing memories in it, including a Christmas Eve engagement. Fast forward two years and a massive career change happened. This led them to their new home in Florida!

After putting their wedding off for months due to a pandemic, they are beyond excited to share their special day with all of their loved ones on Nov 7, 2021, in St Augustine Florida!
