From Bermuda to Brooklyn to Bolton

Labor Day Weekend, 2013 - Middle of the Atlantic Ocean

Ariel and Arthur, Ariel's Man-of-Honor, decided to go on a cruise from Baltimore to Bermuda to celebrate graduating cosmetology school. Zach and some work friends (aka the "Nerd Birds") had recently completed a four-month-long training program and were celebrating on the same cruise. There was only a small number of 20-somethings on the boat, since most had gone back to college, so when they all took to the casino that evening they immediately became friends. Over the next seven days, the "groups" became a "group" and a couple emerged that were especially close. On the last evening of the cruise Ariel ran up to Zach, jumped into his arms, and kissed him. They talked everyday after the cruise until moving to Brooklyn within the next six months. Six years, six apartments, and twelve roommates all flew by until eventually Zach was proposing on the rooftop of their tiny, Bed-Stuy apartment.
