Amor Fati - Love of Fate

Zack and Taylor met in High School. They weren't exactly "friends", but they shared classes and had a few friends in common. They were actually very different from one another. Taylor was a runner and an artist who wore checkerboard Vans, heavy side bangs, and purple eyeliner. Zack was captain of the tennis team and in mock trial, wore argyle Lacoste sweater vests and drove a silver Audi. You get the picture, right? It was not until senior year that two worlds collided... Towards the end of high school, their connection grew stronger, leading to a serious relationship. However, the timing wasn't right. The two separated halfway through college. It was hard, but this time was necessary for them to grow as individuals. Fast-forward to March 2014. After 3 years of radio silence, Zack and Taylor cross paths at a bar in New Paltz. After catching up, they came to find that they both applied to the SAME graduate school to pursue the SAME degree: a Masters in Social Work. Realizing they would likely be spending time in the same classroom (again), Zack asked Taylor to dinner a few days later. They tried to take caution and move slowly, but they knew this was too significant to be a coincidence; it was meant to be. They began to believe in a thing called fate. Zack and Taylor graduated from UAlbany in 2016, and began working full-time with LMSW behind their last names. To celebrate their hard work since graduating, they planned a trip to Santorini, Greece. On May 22nd, 2017, Taylor and Zack wandered around Oía, the scenic tip of the island. It was their last day of an unforgettable two-week adventure. Zack wanted to take Taylor to catch the world famous Santorini sunset. The two packed a bag with a blanket, bottle of wine, and two glasses. Zack also packed a surprise. After arriving at the sunset, Zack insisted on setting up his GoPro to "get a photo of us and the sunset". Next thing Taylor knew, Zack was on his knee beside her, asking if she would marry him.
