Ezra and Megan met in 2015 while working at Glen's Garden Market, a sustainable and locally sourced food market in Washington, DC. Ezra hired Megan to bartend and barista, and our relationship quickly evolved from coworkers to friends, with mutual curiosity in something more. Instead of asking Megan on a date, Ezra asked her to garden. The seeds we sowed in that spring yielded beautiful, blossoming plants by the summer - which was analogous to the growth of our relationship that season. By August 2018, we committed to a new chapter as a couple. Almost five years later, we are homeowners in Baltimore and live with our rabbits Pippin, Nala and Serafina whose little furry presence brings us so much laughter and joy. As we continue to build our future together, we will always remember our origin story and the lessons from gardening: patience, wonder and a commitment to our values will help us find awe, beauty and purpose in whatever the seasons of life bring us.
