Our Wedding

Ben and Olivia's journey began at the end of their freshman year of high school in 2013. Surrounded by amazing friends who remain their closest companions, they shared countless memories, from formal and Cotillion to prom. Growing up together, they navigated many of life's changes side by side. After college, they grew closer (if even possible) as they taught together at Pope John in Evanston, finding immense joy in their shared experiences. In March 2023, they bought their first home, celebrated their engagement in September 2024 and welcomed their puppy Winnie in June 2024. They can't wait to celebrate their love story with all their family and friends.
