Our journey began in our senior year of college when we met, though it wasn't until the fall of 2021 that our story begins. Ben, living in St. Charles, Minnesota after college, would frequently return to Eau Claire to visit friends, but little did he know he’d find something more!

A last minute birthday trip for one of our best friends led us to our first date which was a George Strait concert. Then, in December 2021, Ben surprised Morgan during a snowstorm for her birthday. The very next day, at Cowboys Jacks, he asked her to be his girlfriend.

For nearly two years, we embraced the challenge of long-distance, packing our bags every weekend to make the journey to be together. In October 2023, Ben accepted a job in Osseo, Wisconsin, and our long-distance ended. The rest is history!

We feel incredibly blessed that our paths aligned at just the right moment, and we can't imagine life without each other now. We are thrilled and grateful to embark on forever together.
