Mandy + Ben: A Love Story

The Love Story Started…

in 2009 in a math class at Columbia College in Sonora, California. Soon after, the pair became inseparable and spent every day together. They shared a love of the outdoors, and spent the majority of their time hiking, camping, going on picnics, and watching sunsets.

Mandy would always close her eyes and make a wish at 11:11. On one of their dates, Ben took Mandy to Fahey Meadow to have a picnic at 11/11/2010 and asked her to be his girlfriend under the golden oak leaves.

The pair dated for 8 years, and got engaged on May 31st, 2018. While on vacation on the Oregon Coast, Ben got down on one knee and proposed on Otter Rock Beach.

Of course, Mandy said, YES! The pair tied the knot on October 12, 2019, at The Davies Family Inn at Shadowridge Ranch.
