We first met in the summer of 2018 through a mutual friend. Not long after, we started dating in April of 2019, just before going to junior prom together. From the very beginning, our relationship has been rooted in friendship, laughter, and growing up side by side. Over the years, we’ve shared so many milestones and memories. We have become incredibly close with each other’s families, whose love and support have meant everything to us. Bonding over our shared love of alternative music and gaming has always been a constant—whether it’s sharing songs, long car rides, or spending hours playing games together. After almost 7 years together we love all the same things. Even when we went to different colleges, our relationship never skipped a beat. Weekend visits became some of our favorite memories, especially the time spent together at Zachary's school, Lehigh University, reminding us that no matter the distance, being together always felt like home. On October 18, 2025, Zachary planned a surprise trip to Aruba, where we got engaged on the beach at sunset. An unforgettable moment that perfectly captured our journey so far. We’re so excited to celebrate our love and start this next chapter together.
