Zack and Ivanna grew up less than half a mile apart, their lives quietly overlapped for years without ever truly crossing paths. When they finally did meet, it felt like two old friends picking up right where they left off. The connection was instant and magnetic, the kind that makes you feel like you’ve known someone all your life. At the time, Ivanna was living in Arlington, Virginia, and Zack was in Abingdon, Maryland. Before they knew it, they were already falling in love, finding any excuse to talk late into the night and spend every weekend together. Just as their story was beginning, life asked them to take a leap. Zack had plans to move to Colorado that summer, and Ivanna still had a few years left to finish her degree. This gave them only three months to decide if their feelings were real enough to change the course of their lives. Together, they chose to believe in what they had found. Zack stayed, and Ivanna trusted that love could be worth the risk. Since then, they have built a life full of adventure, laughter, and hard-won choices. Every day, they wake up and choose each other all over again — and they can’t wait to celebrate this next adventure with you.
