Erin and Ben’s love story began in Chicago, where they met through mutual friends. Their roommates were childhood best friends, so it wasn’t long before they found themselves spending summer evenings together playing games on Erin’s back patio—and slowly falling for each other.

Their relationship started with plenty of laughs, including one memorable night when Ben attempted to flirt by putting a chocolate cupcake in Erin’s face. Needless to say, it didn’t go quite as planned! Thankfully, he made up for it, and the two soon went on their first date to see Buzz Lightyear, followed by ice cream.

Their shared love of adventure quickly became a big part of their relationship. From skiing in Wisconsin to exploring Zion National Park, they discovered they both had a serious case of wanderlust. After two years together, they moved to Nashville and began building their life in a new city.

Ben eventually proposed on the beach in Costa Rica, waiting until the end of their trip to make sure Erin didn’t see it coming. After everything they’ve experienced together, they’re excited to celebrate their next chapter surrounded by their friends and family at Drakewood Farm!
