Our Love Story

2020: A High School Connection

It all began during our junior year of high school. We met through mutual friends and instantly clicked. Whether it was study sessions, cheering at football games, or spending time with friends, we quickly became inseparable.

2021: Two Colleges, One Love

After graduation, life took us on different paths. Stephanie headed to Xavier University in Cincinnati to pursue her Nursing Degree, while Ben pursued his Mechanical Engineering Degree at Purdue University in Indiana. Despite the miles between us, we made long-distance work with weekend visits, countless phone calls, and plenty of late-night FaceTimes.

2024: The Big Question

After years of cheering each other on through exams, internships, and everything in between, we celebrated Ben’s graduation in December 2024. Little did Stephanie know, this milestone wasn’t the only celebration. After years of love, laughter, and growing together, Ben graduated in December 2024. To celebrate, he planned an unforgettable New Year’s Eve party, inviting all of Stephanie’s friends and his to ring in the new year together. Ben surprised Stephanie by dropping to one knee and asking her to be his forever. It was the perfect ending to 2024—and an even better start to our future.

2025: Our Happily Ever After
