Our Story

Becky & Ben met playing in an Ultimate Frisbee league with friends . . . when they were much younger :) They formed a great friendship but, as time went on, they drifted apart and wished each other the best in life. Years later, after both had experienced challenging and equally wonderful times, they ran into each other on State Street in Madison. Call it fate or good timing, when a true friend is needed most to lean on, they decided to get coffee and catch up. It was as if no time had passed between them at all. Their friendship and love for each other grew and the rest is history.

Engagement

November 19, 2020

Big Spring
UW-Madison Arboretum
Madison, Wisconsin

Our shared love of nature, and for each other, has led us to frequent walks, hikes, bike rides, and kayaking at the University of Wisconsin Arboretum in Madison. Ben proposed at the Big Spring of Lake Wingra, our favorite spot.

The engagement ring - circa 1900 - is from an antique jeweler in Paris. We had planned a trip to France in May of this year; but due to the Pandemic we were unable to go. Ben, however, did not let this deter his engagement plans and had a ring delivered from Paris . . . a unique and special piece for an equally unique and special person.

The Conservatory

With large gatherings postponed indefinitely, and the utmost caution & concern for the health & safety of our loved ones, we decided to have a small and intimate ceremony.

We are looking forward to celebrating with you all at a reception party in the future, when it is safe & comfortable for us all to gather.
