We first crossed paths on a beautiful fall day in NYC, meeting at the Standard (East Village) via mutual friends from Zach’s fraternity from Lehigh. Despite Zach’s tardiness, our encounter felt serendipitous, almost slipping through the cracks. The connection was immediate, we talked the rest of the evening and had an impromptu first date at a nearby wine bar. Though neither of us sought anything serious, by our third date, we spent every day together. In the early stages, we bonded over shared interests such as binge-watching Zach’s favorite shows (Always Sunny in Philadelphia, Seinfeld, the Office), indulging in takeout, and savoring red wine. Eventually, we embraced a more active lifestyle, enjoying separate workouts (as Zach adamantly avoids Barry’s) and dining out, interspersed with occasional binge-watching weekends. Over the past seven years, we’ve welcomed an adorable French Bulldog into our lives, embarked on travels around the world, got engaged in St. Barth's, and most recently, became parents to our precious son, Max. Our little family fills our hearts with love and joy, and we eagerly anticipate the adventures that lie ahead.
