Erin Krakow & Ben Rosenbaum Shocked Fans With Their Wedding News in June
Krakow and Rosenbaum had quietly dated for years, but shocked fans by announcing on June 23 that they’d tied the knot. Krakow tagged Rosenbaum in a post with two photos, including one of them kissing, with her wearing a beautiful wedding dress and long veil and him in chocolate brown suit.
Krakow simply captioned the post with an infinity symbol and added a piano instrumental of Christina Perri’s “A Thousand Years” in the background.
