Wedding at One North Broad | Vicki & Ben

Vicki vividly remembers the first time she met Ben. He was a bit of a mystery at work – the guy with too many nicknames and an air of quiet confidence that made him seem just out of reach. But that impression didn’t last long. One day, Ben appeared behind her cubicle, grinning as he effortlessly rattled off restaurant recommendations for her visiting family. His thoughtfulness caught her attention, but it was his warmth, kindness, and the ease of their conversations that sparked something deeper.

For Ben, falling in love with Vicki wasn’t about grand gestures. It was her kindness and the way she made life’s simplest moments feel special. With Vicki, even the ordinary felt meaningful. She supported him, encouraged him, and inspired him to grow. Over the years, her unwavering belief in him became the quiet force that pushed him to strive for more.

There wasn’t a single moment when Vicki realized she wanted forever with Ben-it was the sum of countless little things. He was her biggest supporter, her source of calm, and the one who made even the most stressful days feel a little brighter. For Ben, the certainty had been there for a long time, but life has a way of reminding us when to take action. After nearly eight years together, filled with shared experiences and unwavering support, he knew they were in it for the long haul.

The proposal was perfect for Vicki and Ben-simple, thoughtful, and just a little bit playful. Knowing her love for novelty (especially when it comes to food), Ben promised conveyor belt sushi. But before they reached the restaurant, he suggested a detour through Rittenhouse Square, glowing with holiday lights. In the heart of the park, surrounded by twinkling lights and the hum of the city, Ben asked Vicki to marry him.

Now, as they prepare for their wedding day, there’s one thing they’re looking forward to the most-dancing. After eight years together, they’re ready to celebrate the life they’ve built, with all the people who’ve been part of their journey.
