Ben and Ren met each other in their sophomore year of high school at Washington High in Geometry class. The two of them ended up going to the winter formal and Ben ended up officially asking Ren out. The two enjoyed the last three years of high school together and then took on long distance as Ren went to undergrad at Northwestern College in Orange City Iowa. The two of them made an effort to see each other frequently and learned how to communicate effectively. Now Ren and Ben both live in Sioux Falls and can not wait to start their lives together.
