Our Wedding

I can’t help but smile whenever I tell our story. Back in 2019, Benjamin was part of a speed skating team at the Cordova Skate Center. One day, I went to pick up my little sister from skate practice, and he later told me that when he saw me, he thought I was beautiful. To be honest, though, my first impression wasn’t quite the same—he was wearing a skin suit, and I wasn’t exactly interested! After a few more trips to pick up my sister, there was an outdoor skate event at Shelby Farms. That’s when I saw him without the helmet and skin suit, and let’s just say my interest skyrocketed! I finally worked up the courage to talk to him, and after we went our separate ways, I sent him a DM on Instagram. He didn’t respond for THREE whole days! Although, he made up for it by giving me his phone number right away. Though Ben mentioned he wasn’t really into the dating scene, he kept inviting me to church and to Starbucks on their two-for-one days. A few weeks later, he finally asked me to be his girlfriend, and the rest is history! Fast forward to November 10, 2024. Benjamin’s mom invited me to a family paint party contest, and I couldn’t help but wonder if he was going to propose. When I arrived and saw we were actually painting, my heart sank—I’d been completely fooled by his family! After the contest, we were asked to keep our paintings to ourselves and step outside. That’s when I was met with flashing cameras, beautiful engagement cookies, roses, and a big “Marry Me” sign. I was so stunned that I blurted out, “I’m in an apron!”—something I only realized later when I saw it in the proposal video. Of course, I said YES! My soon to be sister-in-law posted our video on TikTok, and it has nearly one million views! To top it all off, Ben shared a word from the Lord he received in church: “Our first moments being a team we managed to reach 800k people with just 15 seconds of our time. Individually we have had great influence on the people around us, but together we are going to reach the world.”
