We met each other when I was a sophomore and Ben was a senior in Ag mechanics class in FFA. It took him a whole year to realize I liked him, and that only happened when I shut his phone's sliding keyboard to be annoying. It was in that moment he looked up & the light bulb in his brain clicked on. So naturally, our first date was to the scrap yard in Waterbury (for Ag hours so Mom would let me out of the house), and a romantic dinner at TGI Friday's eating chicken tendies, with the most beautiful sunset that night. Three weeks later our first kiss was sitting on a tree branch in Simond's Pond. Ahhh Colebrook Love. Almost 10 years later he proposed to me in Napa Valley in record breaking California rain when I was working a travel job in French Camp, CA. We are beyond ecstatic to celebrate almost 12 years to the date when we get married 6.15.24- from when we started dating 6.13.12. <3 Rhode Island has a special place in our heart, and we can't wait to tie the knot there with you all.
