EPB to Forever

Love has a way of finding us when we least expect it, and for Kathryn and Ben, it was no different. Their journey from classmates to life partners is a testament to the magic of true connection, the power of small moments, and the beauty of unwavering commitment.

Kathryn recalls the moment she knew Ben was “the one”; It was about a month into their relationship, a time when both were on separate spring breaks. Ben was in paradise with his guy friends, while Kathryn was enjoying a family vacation. Despite the sun-soaked beaches and carefree days with his best friends, Ben couldn’t stop calling Kathryn, day and night. This constant communication, made Kathryn realize just how special Ben was.

For Ben, the realization that Kathryn was “the one” came much earlier. It was on the very day he met her in class. “I went home to my roommates and told them all, ‘I was in trouble, boys,’ because of this girl in my class,” Ben shares.

From that day forward, Ben’s attendance in their Interpretation of Literature class was impeccable. He made sure to sit next to Kathryn every chance he got, ensuring they would be partners in every class activity. “I went to that class more than any other I ever had,” Ben admits. “I always made sure I sat next to Kathryn so she had to be my partner.”
