After the new year of 2017 began, Ben and I connected through online dating. With him living in Boulder and myself living in Aurora I am sure our paths would have never crossed if it weren’t for the dating app. Ben and I went on our first coffee date in January, 2017! I was so incredibly nervous to meet him for the first time because after talking to him for countless hours he seemed to be such a perfect guy! I ended up being about an hour late to our first coffee date because parallel parking in Denver is not for me. I am forever thankful that Ben waited for me, otherwise we may have never met. From that day forward I have made sure to make it up to him. It was that six- month to a year mark where I really feel like we saw the balance we created with each other. We were always looking for fun and spontaneous things to do together and the 45 mile distance wasn't about to stop us! Fast forward 7 years later we have moved in and out of a few homes, rescued our spunky pup Doug, and we are getting ready for our wedding day! We are overjoyed to experience life together and can't wait to see what the future unfolds for us!
