It’s happening!

They met in Chicago. Zara was on a date with another individual and Justin was intrigued. A few weeks later they met again, both unattached, at a random basement party… It was a chilly eve filled with disco, synthetic fog and dancing. Zara made the first move—a very forward proposition to kiss—Justin countered, “Talk first?” Killer dance moves were made, drinks were sipped, and Justin asked again to talk. Away from the thumping Chicago house music, around a fire on an abandoned car seat, something clicked. A true connection was made. The couple would spend the next seven years on and off, (Justin on and Zara off) and then COVID-19 hit. The pandemic and a failed IUD created the perfect storm—Kid. The news of a pregnancy and baby humbled the couple, and gave them one more miraculous chance to figure things out. The rest is history. ✨
