Elena and Ben began dating in 2018, when they were just 16 years old. Despite attending different high schools, they enjoyed making memories and experiencing major milestones with one another.

Elena and Ben met at church. They have enjoyed volunteering, serving on mission trips, and attending church every week as they grew in their relationship with God, both as individuals and together.

Despite attending different colleges for 4 years, Elena and Ben supported each other from a distance. They both loved to visit one another whenever possible, and learned to make the most of every moment together!

Since graduation, Elena and Ben have been doing just that: making the most of every moment! They have enjoyed an incredible trip to Italy and are now settling into the working life as they start their careers.

On November 9th, 2024, Ben proposed to Elena!

Currently, Elena and Ben have enjoyed planning for their wedding in June 2026, and are ecstatic to celebrate their journey as a couple with their favorite people!
