Who would've thought the strings of fate for Erika and Ben would intertwine in the Tepper classroom for "Digital Marketing and Social Media Strategy".

After class projects, walks home and Ben faking his interest in Harry Potter to secure a movie-date with Erika, the bride and groom to-be found themselves quickly in love.

Cementing the bond, Ben and Erika took a cross-country road trip their first summer together. You know its real when you fiercely enjoy thousands of miles and camping in the back of a truck together.

Following a year of semi long-distance dating (and a lot of Beer Die victories) while Ben finished up his senior year in Pittsburgh, the couple moved in together at their first apartment in Philadelphia. Despite the challenges of living with ~a boy~, Erika and Ben continued to build a life, making memories and supporting each other through life's hardships.

With the freedom of remote work and a sense of wanderlust, Ben and Erika took a leap of faith and moved to Denver. The bride and groom to-be made quick work of acclimating to the Denver lifestyle - hiking, skiing and drinking too many craft beers.

Looking to escape the chilly Rocky winter and enjoy some restful time away, Ben and Erika jetted to Cancun for an all-inclusive getaway. The ring burning a hole in his pocket and nerves, Ben popped the question their first night in Mexico at a romantic dinner on the beach, and Erika answered with an easy and resounding, "Yes".

Having found so much joy in nature and a wonderful group of friends here in Denver, Erika and Ben are so excited to tie the knot in this city with everyone they love and continue making memories.
