Love Story: Benjamin Cohen and Lexi Tobin’s Whirlwind Romance Leads to Magical Proposal and Wedding
It was a chance encounter on his 31st birthday that brought Benjamin Ryan Cohen and Lexi Brooke Tobin together in a serendipitous moment that would change their lives forever.
Ms. Tobin, in Montauk, N.Y. for her sister’s bachelorette party, crossed paths with Mr. Cohen, who was sharing a house with friends in East Hampton. A quick introduction led to an instant connection, with Mr. Cohen offering his sweatshirt to keep Ms. Tobin warm, sparking the beginning of a beautiful relationship.
Despite living in different states, the couple’s bond only grew stronger as they navigated a long-distance relationship. Mr. Cohen’s decision to move to New York City permanently in early 2022 solidified their commitment to each other, and soon after, they found themselves engaged on March 2, 2023.
The proposal was nothing short of magical, with Mr. Cohen orchestrating a scavenger hunt that led Ms. Tobin through their favorite spots in the city, culminating in a heartfelt letter reminiscent of their first weekend together at the William Vale hotel in Brooklyn.
The video of the proposal, shared on social media, captured the hearts of millions and even inspired others to create their own “Ben scavenger hunt proposal.” The couple’s love story continued to unfold as they tied the knot on March 2 at the Liberty Warehouse in Brooklyn, surrounded by 225 guests and officiated by Ms. Tobin’s uncle.
Benjamin and Lexi’s journey from a chance meeting to a fairytale proposal and a beautiful wedding is a testament to the power of love and the magic of serendipity. Their story serves as a reminder that true love knows no boundaries and can conquer any distance.
