Our Wedding

We met at the beginning of COVID and before we could even decide if we wanted to go on a first date, THE Ohio State University decided for us. They announced that we would not be returning to campus for the rest of the year. While this shutdown any hope we had for a first date anytime soon, we continued talking and developed a strong friendship. In May 2020, DeWine allowed indoor seating at restaurants again and Ben promptly asked me out on an official "first" date. On June 13, 2020, we went to the Old Spaghetti Factory for pasta (Maddie's favorite) and spumoni (Ben's favorite). Following dinner, we went to Jungle Jim's so that Ben could take me on a "trip around the world." After grabbing some snacks, they headed to the pool and followed it up with a movie. Ben had planned the most thoughtful and memorable first date ever. After that, you could say the rest was history! Four and a half years later, on the day of our engagement, Ben had tricked me into recreating our first date, Old Spaghetti Factory and another trip around the world at Jungle Jim's. This time, we didn't end with a swim and a movie, but we ended with a proposal and being surrounded by those who love us.
