Once upon a time, in the Summer of 2010, two young teenagers ventured off across the world to the land of Israel on a youth trip sponsored by the Lappin Foundation, who graciously sends teens back to the homeland each summer. Carly & Zach got to know each other in the weeks leading up to the big trip and during the trip became friends. They spent two weeks riding camels together and exploring Israel. Following the trip, the two parted ways......for the next 5 years.


Carly & Zach reconnected, again, in a different country. Zach was studying abroad in London and Carly just so happened to be there for a weekend stay. Carly slid into the DMs, hoping to strike up a conversation with the man she fondly remembers from the Israel trip. Sadly, Zach was in Paris that weekend and they failed to connect.


This did not stop the two from trying to eventually catch up and start talking. In the Spring of 2016, Carly & Zach started to seriously connect and Carly visited Zach during his Spring Semester at Syracuse University. Zach was immediately crazy for Carly - loving her glowing smile, clumsy humor, and her ability to connect with his friends instantly. The two started dating immediately post graduation and the rest was history.


They couldnt be happier, and the excitement of sharing their overflowing joy with everyone at the wedding is bubbling over. Get ready for a celebration thats as lively and extraordinary as the love that started it all!
