Many moons ago, during the summer of 2013, Arianna and Walt met in Israel on a Birthright trip through the University of Maryland (UMD). After two weeks of riding camels in the desert, floating in the Dead Sea, and going out in Tel Aviv, their summer romance came to an end. Arianna and Walt went their separate ways upon returning to UMD, but never lost touch. It wasn't until the summer of 2015 that Arianna and Walt reignited the spark after the Israeli solider from their birthright trip, Tal, played cupid and reconnected the former summer lovers. A few months later, Arianna spontaneously invited Walt to her family's New Years Eve Party. That night, somewhere in between midnight and 5 AM, the two became official. They returned to Israel the following summer, and the rest is history!
