Zoey and John met the good old fashion way… via a dating App:) Okay so they actually met in person at The National Black Theater in Harlem where Zoey was directing a show. John came to the show and they met afterwards for dinner. At dinner the two realized that on paper, they had absolutely nothing in common and wondered how the dating App placed them together. This curiosity led to a friendship… which led to a relationship… which led to a proposal and now a marriage. Love creeped in along the way.

John had big plans, fancy plans--plans of grander and awe…. but… While in Nice, (South of France) John thought he would plan a romantic dinner on a cliff surrounded by water, then walk Zoey out to a lighthouse and propose there. His plans fell through after the lighthouse wasn’t well lit and surrounded by rogues, drugs, and French pirates. So the next day John made a new very fancy plan to propose at a vineyard. But… Zoey had made a plan to go canoeing in the French Alps. Due to a language error Zoey & John ended up on a level-three canyon adventure lasting eight hours through the French Alps. After scaling cliffs and jumping off waterfalls, slipping on rocks and covered in algae, John looked at Zoey and thought, "Yup, I want to spend my life with this woman." So he proposed, while the two of them floated in a cave wearing really attractive wetsuits, on a random mountain in the French Alps. Zoey looked at John and said ‘Yes, I love you, but I have to pee.”
