Our first date was at our favorite taco restaurant, Barrio. Of course, Jillian ordered a margarita and Ben had a craft beer.

Our second date was to a Cleveland Indians baseball game. It actually rained the whole time, the game got delayed and eventually ended up getting cancelled. We sat on the concrete by the gift shop and ate pizza and drank beers soaking wet for three hours instead (very romantic). Pretty sure we laughed the whole time.

Ben proposed in Downtown Cleveland in the middle of Public Square while we were looking at the Christmas lights. We had a whole crowd of people cheering for us!

---

Ben is a lover of craft beer and quite a beer expert! He currently works for Superior Beverage Group selling beer and wine all over Cleveland. He loves IPAs and his current favorite beer is Great Lakes Holy Moses.

---

Jillian moved to Cleveland in 2017 from Orlando, Florida to pursue her career in nursing. She works at the Cleveland Clinic and is currently attending Case Western Reserve University for her Nurse Practitioner degree.

---

We love going to local breweries, trying new restaurants and enjoying all of the Cleveland sporting events downtown. Ben is a die-hard Cleveland Browns fan, so football season is dedicated to Baker Mayfield (sorry Jill).

---

Our guilty pleasures are Costco hotdogs, Papa John's pizza and Italian food. Jillian loves to cook and makes the world's best spaghetti bolognese (according to Ben).

---

You can find us watching Blacklist or crime documentaries in our free time.

We are big dog lovers! Our families have the best dogs ever and we can't wait to get one of our own. Shoutout to the best pups: Stella, Wolfie, Scarlett, George and Minnie!

We are currently building a home in Aurora, OH. It is set to be finished right before our wedding!
