How We Met

Zachary: "Moving away from home was the best decision we ever made"

Carley moved to North Carolina in 2016. I moved here in 2018. New state, new jobs, new friends, new start. For everything that was different, there was one thing we had in common - we worked in the same building. Surprisingly enough though, that's not the reason we met. I had seen her around the office a few times, and she was the most beautiful woman, but she never seemed to recognize me in passing. A few months pass by and I was trying my luck on dating apps. Bumble being one of them. Who do I find? Carley Benoit - the girl who worked in my same building. I swiped right without a second thought, and turns out that she did too. We went on our first date a couple weeks later - she would join a group of eight of us for music bingo at a bar. Music bingo ended, and everyone left for the night, but we didn't want the date to be over. So we were off to the next bar - just the two of us. A couple hours of drinks, laughs, and good conversation capped off the night. One date turned to another, another date led to talking daily, which led to seeing each other weekly, which led to moving in together and finally getting on one knee nearly two and half years later.
