#LoveIsZinnTheAir

The second weekend of September 2014 was, unbeknownst to them at the time, not only a weekend retreat for gathering Lehigh University Greek Presidents: it was the first time Sarah and Ryan would meet. As we both agree, being President of our respective chapters was most of the time stressful and undoubtably characterized as "a great experience we never want to do again". The single best thing to come out of each of us being President was meeting one another at the leadership retreat. Upon returning to campus, we would hang out as friends, saw each other around campus at various events, and eventually asked each other to winter formals -- seeing as we wanted to go with someone who would understand their date's constant stress that night of the event. Feelings grew and culminated into us officially begin dating in January of 2016. After graduation from Lehigh, Sarah worked for a business marketing company based out of Maryland/DC area, and Ryan attended a Master's program in Philadelphia before attending medical school at PCOM. We survived distance for 3 years, and believe the distance made our love stronger -- distance really does make the heart grow fonder. Sarah was able to work remotely, and moved to Philadelphia in June 2019. It was an exciting change in the relationship! Together they enjoy trying new restaurants, walking along Kelly Drive and Wissahickon Trail, exploring local craft breweries and wineries, or even having a cozy night in watching Forensic Files on Netflix. We're really excited to have you all join us for our special day and can't wait to celebrate with you on October 1, 2022!
