We met 8 years ago in 8th grade when Hannah joined Benjamin's homeschool co-op class. Throughout high school, we worked on homework together, carpooled back and forth from the theater, and slowly became best friends. It wasn't until senior year that it turned into something more than friends, even though everyone around us felt like it was a long time coming. We started college in the fall of 2020 and knew it was important to both of us to make it through long distance. Even though it was hard, it has been so worth it. Benjamin asked Hannah to marry him on November 2nd, 2023 and it was the easiest yes she's ever said. We cannot wait to spend the rest of our lives together.
