Zach and I first met in an elective choir class at RIT. I remember locking eyes across the room for the first time with Zach. He was wearing khaki pants, a white shirt, and had his hair at a long curly length. Zach and I proceeded to be friends for almost a year before admitting our feelings to one another in a late night conversation on October 2nd, 2015. It was that night that we decided to give dating a try. We quickly figured out that there was something incredibly special between us, and have continued to fall in love every day since then. I'm so lucky I get to keep falling for you even more each day, I love you Zach.
Rachel and I met in our first year of college when both of us joined the RIT choir. Two days after we first laid eyes on each other, we met up for what would be the first of many pre-choir dinners with our friend group. It was during these dinners that we really began to get to know each other. Rachel was an integral part of of our newly assembled friend group, and this group would go on to remain close through the entirety of college. A year after I first met Rachel, we had the idea of testing out a relationship. We put dating on trial with the presupposition that if it didn't work out, no feelings would be hurt and we could continue to be friends after a failed experiment. Lucky for me, the experiment was a huge success and as I write this, four and a half years after I met her, I get to marry the woman of my dreams who happened to be the beautiful alto from across the choir room.
