Will & Rachel officially got to know each other at a work Christmas party during their job in Utah. Rachel instantly felt that Will was going to be a major character in her life whether a great friend, trusted coworker, or meaningful relationship. Will also felt a special pull towards Rachel right away which translated into shyness until he felt more confident around her. Finally on Will's birthday Rachel gifted Will a slice of cheesecake to which Will blurted "will you go on a date with me?!" and after some laughter Rachel said yes. Their first date ended with both feeling it was the most natural feeling first date either had ever been on & Rachel invited Will to a camping trip in Moab with friends. The whole trip felt like a dream and ended with the photo taken above - officially beginning the relationship
