The month that would change our single lives forever and bring us together. We found each other in July 2016 and began dating. As we learned more about each other, we learned how the universe was pulling us together for the first half of our lives. Zachary was considering attending a college in Florida, where Emily lived at the time, but ultimately went to Maryville College to be a Theatre major and joined the choir. Emily's family decided to move to Tennessee, where they went on a trip to Maryville College for a choir competition and Zach was a Freshman at Maryville in the choir at the time. We're still not sure if we saw each other that day, but clearly we were supposed to meet eventually. Later on, when Emily was considering which college to go to, she was deciding between ETSU and UT, but something was drawing her to Knoxville, so she chose UT. One fateful day, the universe finally had its way and we finally met in Michael's, where Zach was working at the time, and the rest is history.
