From Pokémon to Partners for Life: Brooke & Ben’s Love Story



Some love stories begin with grand gestures. Others begin at a party with a spark and a smile—and maybe a cheeky tall tale or two. For Brooke and Ben, it started years ago at a casual gathering that would turn out to change their lives forever.


Back then, Ben had to get creative to sneak in time with Brooke after dark. His excuse? “I’m just going out to hunt Pokémon, Mum.” What she didn’t know was that there was only one thing Ben was trying to catch, and that was more time with Brooke. Whether or not he found any rare Pikachu is still up for debate, but we all know he caught something far more legendary.


As their connection grew stronger, Brooke did something bold - she moved right in. Yep, straight into Ben’s family home. And she never left. From day one, she fit right in like the missing puzzle piece. What started as a sleepover or two turned into building a life together, filled with laughter, memories, and spontaneous getaways.


Somewhere along the way, their little family grew by four paws with the addition of their fur baby, who’s been along for the ride ever since.


And then came the big day. The forecast had promised a washout - rain all day. But, true to their luck (and perhaps a nod from the universe), the rain held off. Aside from a quick sprinkle during the ceremony (which only made it more romantic), the skies cleared just in time to bless them with a breathtaking sunset.


Brooke and Ben’s journey is one of chance encounters, unexpected turns, and everyday magic. From late-night "Pokémon hunts" to sharing a life filled with adventure and unconditional love, theirs is a story that proves sometimes, when you least expect it, you find your forever person - no app required.
