Our love story started with a swipe on Hinge, and oh boy, are we grateful for that fateful click. Who would've thought that we both grew up in LA, at one point lived in the same neighborhood, and even went to the same university, but had never actually crossed paths? It was like the universe was nudging us together. A simple "Go Blue!" from Zack sealed our fate. Our first date was on November 24, 2019, at the charming restaurant Milo & Olive. Over a shared meal of chopped salad, pasta, and pizza, accompanied by a two-and-a-half-hour conversation, it felt like we had known each other much longer than a few hours. Then 2020 came, and so did the lockdown. So naturally, as any reasonable couple after 4 months of dating would do, we ended up moving in together at the Sycamore house with our "quaranteam." Our relationship—and our tomato plants—flourished. Since then, our adventures have taken us far and wide, from exploring the vast landscapes of the United States to immersing ourselves in the vibrant cultures of Mexico and Europe. We've cooked our way through favorite cookbooks, played tennis, skied (with one new ACL), and watched some excellent TV shows and movies. In 2022, our family "expanded" with the joyful addition of our fur baby, Schmutz, bringing even more love and laughter into our lives. On November 20, 2023, against the backdrop of the Venice Canals at sunset, Zack proposed, with our dear friend Moriah capturing the moment from behind a tree. Joined by our families, including siblings and grandparents, we celebrated this milestone where it all began - at Milo & Olive over chopped salad, pasta, pizza, and joyful conversation. Now, as we eagerly anticipate November 23, 2024, we are filled with excitement at the prospect of sharing our love and commitment with our nearest and dearest. We cannot wait to embark on this new chapter surrounded by the warmth and love of so many people who have been cherished parts of our love story thus far!
