Ben and Shelby met online and talked for a few weeks before going on their first date at Tim's. They sat for hours talking in Tim's and realized they should probably leave. They decided to go for a walk than they went back to Ben's place and he made them dinner. They talked every day, all day. When Shelby had to go up to Peterborough for a couple days for school, Ben made the effort to go for coffee before she left and to visit when she came back. They went on multiple dates and Ben asked Shelby to be his girlfriend. On March 22, 2015 they become "official". They enjoyed going on lots of adventures, camping, concerts, going to the movies and playing board games. They are very competitive, specially when playing Mario Kart and sequence. On July 1st 2021 Ben got down on one knee and asked Shelby to be his forever while they were camping at Fitzroy Provincial Park. Shelby screamed yes so loud half the park heard. Four years and two beautiful children later, they are FINALLY GETTING MARRIED.
