The love story
It was meant to be! Benn and I first crossed paths on Facebook, where he sent me a message that sparked a conversation that would change everything. We chatted for a while, and I was excited to finally meet him in person. But fate had other plans – our first meeting got cancelled, and I thought maybe it wasn’t meant to be. But Benn didn’t give up. He rescheduled, and when we met again, something magical happened. Despite the initial setbacks, our connection was instantaneous, and I knew in that moment that our chance encounter was truly special.
The proposal
Our proposal story is one I’ll treasure forever. Benn took me to my favourite beach, a place where I feel carefree and at peace. As we strolled along the shoreline, hand in hand, I had no idea what was coming next. But Benn had a plan. He led me to a spot where the sun was setting over the water, casting a golden glow over everything. And then, on one knee, he asked me the question that changed everything: ‘Will you marry me?’ It was a moment of pure magic, one that I’ll always remember as a reminder of the love we share.
Since our beautiful engagement
After 6.5 incredible years together, Benn and I had built a foundation of love and trust that only deepened with time. While our relationship hadn’t changed, our connection had continued to grow stronger with each passing day. We’d weathered life’s ups and downs together, laughing and crying, growing and evolving as individuals and as a couple. So, when Benn proposed, it wasn’t a surprise that our love had reached this moment. Instead, it was a celebration of the bond we’d nurtured and the future we were building together.
Falling in love
Falling in love is about finding that special someone who becomes your safe haven, your rock, and your partner in every sense of the word. It’s about sharing the joys and sorrows, the highs and lows, and being there for each other through it all. For Benn and me, that someone is each other.
