How They Met

Mary-Katherine and Ben were setup on a blind date by a friend of the bride and co-worker of the groom. Their first date at Callaghan’s lasted 8 hours because they were enjoying getting to know each other. They have been inseparable since.

How He Proposed

The couple had a Mardi Gras event to attend on February 15 with Fuse Project. Ben worked with the organization to setup a proposal on the balcony of The Admiral Hotel 30 minutes before the event. He knew she would be surprised since they had plans for the day. Ben convinced Mary-Katherine to arrive early due to traffic. Upon arrival he stated he wanted to walk around the venue and led the soon-to-be fiancé onto the balcony for a picture. He proposed and the couple was able to celebrate.
