Zach and I, Amira, had known of each other for a while, an occasional "Hey, how you doing," and a smile, but nothing more than that. Zach had mentioned that he was ready to settle down to our mutual friends, Haivan and Payne. Haivan told him the only single friend she had was me, and every time he was with them he would ask Haivan about me.

I worked at the nursing home at the time, and was working 16 hour shifts. I wasn't always around when Zach was with them, but Haivan would keep tabs on how many times he asked about me.

My aunt, Belinda, was getting married, and we had just did her bachelorette party, and I was kind of feeling myself. I posted a picture on instagram, and Zach was one of the first 5 people to like it. I thought, well here is my shot, and I messaged him. Not long after I hit sent, the boy answered, and we have been inseparable ever since.

May 10th of 2021, I became his girlfriend. Three long years later, Zach got on one knee, and asked me to be his wife, May 11th of 2024. On our fourth year together we finally say "I Do", and share our love and commitment with our family and friends.
