When Benji and Connor first met, their schedules could not have been more opposite. Connor was hustling in NYC waking up around four in the morning every day and Benji was dancing the night away on Broadway. Needless to say, it wasn't ideal for spending quality time together and getting to know each other. There were plenty of quick meets on the street for a hug and hello, but the bustle of the city often meant there wasn't much time left in the day for anything more. So when Benji first asked Connor to come over and watch a movie, Connor had to take an afternoon nap just to extend his day long enough to see Benji. Despite his best efforts, Connor quickly fell asleep only a short while into the movie. A great first impression, but Benji decided to give him another chance and asked Connor on a second date. This time they found themselves in China Town painting pottery. And you might be thinking one can't fall asleep in a pottery shop. True... but Connor quickly fell asleep in the taxi on the way home. Thank goodness Benji was there to take care of him. Fast forward three and a half years, and now it's anybody's guess which one of the two will fall asleep during the movie, but it must be true love if each is happy just as long as the other is around, awake or asleep.

Over the course of our relationship, we have spent so much time apart. We were busy chasing careers that had us traveling all over the country and oftentimes taking us away from one another. We have our family and friends to thank for holding us up when each of us was down. For helping us survive our time apart and showing us that our love can grow and bloom even when we are separated by thousands of miles and many timezones. We want to thank each and every one of you for accompanying us on this journey and helping us get to this point. We owe you so much, and we cannot wait to continue sharing our life and love with you all.
