Rob and Zoe first met in 2017 during their freshman year biology class at Indiana University. They sat near each other, but didn't think anything of it until about halfway through the semester. One day Rob came into class and asked if the seat next to Zoe was taken, and they were then part of the same discussion group. Zoe recommended her biology tutor to the group, after everyone didn't do very well on the first exam, so they all exchanged phone numbers. A couple of weeks later, Zoe received a text from her tutor saying "This guy Rob from your class texted me saying you guys want to do group tutoring together?" which Zoe had no idea about. This was obviously a conversation starter for the two, and they have been together ever since. They spent the rest of their time at IU together practically inseparable, building a close knit group of amazing friends along the way. As they had the same major, they spent countless hours studying and being together. After graduation in 2021, Rob started Optometry school at IU and Zoe started her Master's program in 2022 at IUPUI. This was the first time Rob and Zoe had to live more than 15 minutes apart! In November of 2022, right after the start of Thanksgiving break, Zoe drove down to Bloomington for what she thought was an early 5 year anniversary date. On Saturday, Rob suggested that they go for a little walk around campus before going to dinner and took them to the Rose Well House. They walked up to their spot decorated with candles and lights, (shoutout to his mom Andrea and his sister Meg!), and Rob proposed to Zoe. Afterwards they celebrated with both of their families at Nick's English Hut, where the two had their first date! Now, as we prepare to say I do surrounded by our loved ones, we are filled with gratitude for the journey that has brought us to this moment. We can't wait to celebrate our love and commitment to each other with all of you! From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for being part of our story. With love, Zoe & Rob
