Fate has a funny way of bringing people together. For Jackson and Alondra, it all began in Sophomore English class, where they were seated side by side simply because both of their last names began with “Z.” What started as casual conversations quickly grew into daily talks, and before long, they had discovered a connection that felt effortless and meant to be.

By junior year, they were inseparable—sharing laughter in the hallways, endless conversations, and the kind of friendship that hinted at something more. Together, they navigated the unexpected challenges of a global pandemic, leaning on each other for strength and joy when the world felt uncertain. Their bond only deepened as they went off to college side by side, continuing to grow together through every new chapter.

Now, years after that first seating chart placed them next to one another, Jackson and Alondra are engaged and ready to begin their greatest adventure yet. On December 2, 2025, they will exchange vows, forever grateful that what began as chance has turned into a lifetime of love.
