I love our story because Ben and I complete each other in many ways and we both agree we met with perfect timing in our lives. Ben messaged me on Instagram after he learned about me through a mutual friend. We went on our first date June 3rd 2021 at the Barn restaurant. We started dating when Ben asked me to be his girlfriend at Cedar Point July 5th.

We’ve made so many memories over our 2 years of dating. Ben helped encourage me a lot through nursing school. We’ve also spent lots of time working at Ben’s home farm doing tasks like feeding cows, making hay, and talking while working on equipment. I’d also go along to the dairy farm where he worked and help feed calves and ride along in the tractors. I always knew I’d marry a farmer and I’m so thankful for him. We both love our time together and have enjoyed going on trips together to West Virginia, Presque Isle, and Oldsmar Florida!

New Years Eve of 2022 Ben took me on a dinner date which led to us looking at Christmas lights at Landolls Castle in Mohican. It was then he asked me to marry him. Since getting engaged, we’ve bought a house together and have been working hard on renovations the whole year. We’ve grown so much together and learned how much we can overcome and work through. I’m so excited to marry my best friend. I feel it will be special that our wedding is in own backyard and we’ll be surrounded by family and friends. This will be the next part of our story!
