It all started six years ago when Anna was away at college and she learned about this guy named Zev that her older brother Matt had been hanging around with back in her hometown. Curious to find out more about this Zev guy, Anna logged onto Facebook and searched for his name. She was instantly attracted to him and asked her brother to introduce him to her. Her brother (being a typical brother) said no and went on to tell her that he only dates high maintenance preppy girls and that he would not be into her. Anna felt a little bit bummed and so she just let it be. Then one weekend in March 2011 when she was back home visiting from college, Anna, Matt, and a few friends decided to go to a bar called The Bird. The Bird just so happened to be owned by Zev's parents. Anna was mingling at the bar with friends when Zev walked into the bar with one of his buddies. Zev instantly caught eye of Anna and Zev swore that his heart skipped a beat in that moment. From there the two continued to talk via Facebook, and text messages.
A few months later Anna arrived home from school for summer break. The two would see each other almost every day that summer. Finally on August 8, 2011 Zev asked Anna to go to a Brad Paisley concert with him. Here, Zev was planning on asking Anna to be his girlfriend but was nervous and before he knew it the concert was over. The night had almost ended when Zev finally muscled up the courage and asked Anna to be his girlfriend, of course she said yes! From there Zev would drive down to Columbus almost every weekend to see Anna. Whether it was dancing the nights away at Charlie Bear, cheering on the Buckeyes at Eddie George's, or simply hanging out at Anna's apartment the two would have blast together and quickly became each other's best friends and fell in love.
The following year Zev decided to move down to Columbus to be closer to Anna. After a couple years the two decided to take their relationship to the next level and have a… Puppy!! Eight week old English bulldog Odin entered their lives and the couple could not have been happier. That was until Mother's Day 2014, when Anna and Zev found out that their family of three was going to be a family of four!! On December 22, 2014 Zev Alexander (Zevvy) arrived into the world and changed Anna and Zev's lives forever!
After countless numbers of bottle feedings, diaper changes, kisses, and cuddles later it was December 26, 2015 and Zev asked Anna to go dinner with him at Gervasi Vineyard (one of their favorite restaurants). The couple shared a delicious dinner together then headed out the doors when Zev asked Anna if she wanted to go grab a drink at the Crush House at Gervasi. It was raining so Zev grabbed an umbrella from his car and the couple headed toward the Crush House. Before making it all the way in, Zev stopped Anna on a bridge and proposed! The moment was so surreal to Anna that all she remembers was trying to hold back her tears as she watched Zev get down on one knee and pull out the most gorgeous ring she had ever seen! Anna of course said yes!!!
The couple with has now started their wedding planning and cannot wait to celebrate their marriage with all of their closest friends and family!!
