Our Wedding

It was a fateful day when Zach decided to leave the hustle and bustle of Los Angeles for the quieter streets of Tampa, Florida. Little did he know, the stars were aligning for him to meet the love of his life. Daria also had her own reasons for moving to Florida. Her mother had recently relocated there, and she wanted to be closer to her. Both Zach and Daria found themselves working at the same venture capital fund in Tampa, but they didn't speak until they were assigned to a special project together. It was a typical day in the office when Daria walked into Zach's office. Zach, feeling coy, asked her, "What are you doing after work?" Little did he know, that simple question would change both of their lives forever. The company's annual retreat was coming up and both Zach and Daria were attending. The retreat was held at a Tampa Bay Lightning game, and as fate would have it, they spent the entire evening together, never leaving each other's side. They danced the night away on their boss' yacht parked outside. That long night started a dialogue between them that never stopped. April 19th, 2021 is a date that Zach will never forget, the day he met the love of his life.
