We started our journey in 2017, they say you can never find love at the bar or a club, but that’s where this love story began. Who knew Brubakers Pub would be the start to forever. From drinks at the bar to walking around the University of Akron on our daily Pulp dates. Getting to know a person takes time, listening and really comprehending everything that person tells you. Knowing that Zaya loves Hershey Kisses, charm bracelets, and flowers. Random gifts were left for her whenever she had a long day or was feeling down and out. Food was cooked for Eric after work and prepped for lunch the next day. It’s the little things that makes love work. We were just kids when we fell in love, so building the foundation for our relationship was new. Quality time was the brick and concrete to our relationship. Whether it was booking random vacations, going to concerts or just spending time at home. The time we spent allowed us to build a connection, that connection now allows us to open a new door to our future.
