The story of how we met (Tinder circa 2016) isn’t that exciting but our first date was pretty epic! When we first started chatting, Ben had mentioned he was spending the day golfing with his family. I (Jen) had pretty much zero experience with the sport but thought it would be a fun activity and used that as an excuse for us to get together. A few days later I’m walking up to the Shamrock Golf Course club house and see Ben pull up in a golf cart. The conversation went like this… Ben: Where did you park? I can swing around and grab your clubs. Me: Oh, I don’t have clubs. Ben: Well how are you going to golf? Me: I thought I’d just use yours and you could teach me. Ben: I’m a lefty! Me: I guess I’m driving the cart then! We both laughed hysterically and obviously the date was a huge success. Ben couldn't believe I didn’t own clubs and I couldn’t believe he thought I knew a single thing about golf. After that, we spent a lot of time together on the course, Ben playing and me driving the cart. Fast forward to February of 2021 when we took a trip to Orlando. We went to Disney World, explored the city, and of course went golfing (by this time I had my own set of clubs and was trying to figure things out. This was also the birth of my infamous golf stories on Instagram.) On our final night there we decided to make fancy drinks and relax by the pool. Our favorite song started playing and I will never forget Ben said to me “This trip has been so great. How would you feel about me making it even better?” He got up, walked over to the table to grab something, got down on one knee and I completely blacked out. All I remember from the proposal is crying uncontrollably telling him to back up so he didn’t drop the ring in the water. Ha! Once we both calmed down we called all of our closest family and friends and came home absolutely overjoyed to start this next chapter of our lives with one another.
