Ben and Teresa met during high school, and then both ended up at the Worcester Polytechnic Institute for robotics engineering degrees. They hit it off, and bonded over a shared love of nature (walks and hiking in the outdoors) and making things (crafts, woodworking, and big tools!). After four years together, they can't wait to celebrate with all of you at their wedding!

Teresa works as a software engineer for Aurora Flight Sciences, and Ben works as a firmware engineer for Collins Aerospace. Together, they are building their dream of working in aerospace while living out in the countryside. They recently purchased acreage for a future home outside of Charlottesville, VA.
