How We Met

College Sweethearts

We met in Thomasville, Georgia where we both attended Thomas University to obtain our undergrad degrees. Both of us played sports and met some amazing people and lifelong friends. We started to get to know each other more right before winter break in 2015. We started officially dating in January of 2016, which was the second semester of our freshman year. We've been together ever since! We are both so grateful for the amazing memories we made throughout college that will be hard to forget.

Engagement

04/30/2022

Ben proposed on Redington Shores during sunset. He told Megan that they will be watching the sunset and go to a restaurant nearby for a date night. Before she knew it, he was down on one knee asking her to marry him and how much he wanted to spend the rest of his life with her. She said "YES!" After 6 and 1/2 years of dating, this was an easy decision. Once the sun was gone, they left the beach and Ben took Megan out to her favorite restaurant in St. Pete. They were able to celebrate with a glass of champagne. After dinner, Ben wanted to take Megan out for another drink to keep the celebration going. He took her to a nearby rooftop bar where he had her best friends waiting. Megan was ecstatic to be able to celebrate this moment with the people who meant the most to her.
