We met the first day of high school. We connected over our shared love of art and video games. It wasn't long before we became best friends! Our friendship continued into our college years when we began dating our sophomore year.

It was on a joint Cole and Smith family trip to New Zealand. We had a busy itinerary and rarely had a moment alone together, but Zach waited for the perfect opportunity. Finally, Zach got his first chance on Christmas Day at Hahei Beach.
