It was the spring of 2009 when 16-year old Zach mustered the courage and messaged 15-year old Sarah to make sure she was headed back to camp that summer. After years of admiring her from afar at Camp Ramah in Wisconsin, Zach wanted to lock in a summer fling with Sarah. Little did he know, his brief message would turn into a journey of a lifetime. One night before camp, Sarah and Zach spoke on the phone for 8 hours where they realized this would be more than average summer love. After being together for 8 weeks at camp, Sarah and Zach confidently decided to stay together in a long-distance relationship. They began flying back and forth between Minneapolis and Chicago, fiercely dedicated to keeping their love alive (thank god for facetime!). Despite the distance, they overcame every obstacle until the circumstances of their lives changed when it was time to go to college. A gap year in Israel, college, further distance, and busy lives put Sarah and Zach's relationship at a pause despite their deep love. There were moments of pain and hardship, but looking back they realize how important that time was to grow. Ultimately, their love persevered and the summer going into senior year of college they rekindled their relationship. Sarah was interning in DC and Zach was living in New York when Zach sent Sarah a calendar request to join him in New York at Buddakan where they caught up over edamame dumplings. After sitting and talking for hours, their love was immediately put back on track. Sarah and Zach continued to talk all of senior year and they both landed jobs in NYC after graduation ending their long-distance for good. The rest was soon to be history when Zach and Sarah got engaged on June 15th, 2019. Their dream came true and they are so excited to share their Simcha with YOU!
