The Follow Up

Our Wedding

We met in April 2021 the old fashioned way...through an online dating app. Thank you, Hinge! Ben wowed Ellen with his musical talents and Ellen cooked Ben meals that were not from the Costco frozen section. A few dates and a lot of walks along Lake Michigan later, we decided this was the real deal. Fast forward to 2023, we got engaged in the same spot along the lake where we grew to know each other best. We are SO excited to celebrate with the people we love most in the city we love most. See you in Chicago!
