Ben and Julie met in 2014 at Mount Saint Mary’s Catholic High School. While we had a lot of mutual friends, we didn’t really start talking to one another until the end of 2016 when Ben became a part of Julie’s friend group.

We started dating in 2017 during our senior year of high school and spent our first semester of college together at St. Gregory’s University. While we didn’t attend the same college during our entire college careers, we still made it a goal to prioritize the relationship and support each other through many challenges, emerging stronger as a couple.

In 2020, we adopted our first cat, Wednesday, and fell in love with her. In 2022, we welcomed our second cat, Luna, into our family. The four of us currently live in Oklahoma City and adore our little family.

Ben popped the question in 2024 in Palm Springs. Of course, Julie happily said yes and celebrated with a long weekend in sunny California. Now, we’re excited to be planning our wedding in Hawaii, a place we fell in love with in early 2022. We knew that was where we wanted to get married. Our dreams are starting to come true, and we can’t wait for you to be a part of it.
