Leah:

It was March of 2020 and I went on daily walks with the neighborhood girls. Jasmin so casually (not) mentioned that she had a brother in law that she thinks would be a good match for me. Since I was supposed to move to Georgia in a couple weeks, I told her I wasn't interested in starting a long distance relationship. In May, Zach came over for a kickball game and we talked for the first time. A few weeks later, I received an email that my classes would still be remote until the fall. I texted Jasmin and told her that I was interested in going on a date with Zach. We went on our first date in July of 2020 and have been together since then! I would like to let everyone know that I did win the mini golf date ;) Zach started school with me, moved to Georgia with me, got Luna with me, went through board exams with me and so much more. He has been a constant support and has shown me unwavering kindness. He is absolutely everything that I could want in a husband and I can't wait to go through the rest of life with him!

Zach:

In May of 2020, I went over to my brothers house and I met the Hoffner family. We played a kickball game with the whole neighborhood and that was the first time I met and talked to Leah. I found Leah very pretty and attractive but in my head I thought it would be very weird to try and talk to my brothers neighbor. Also if it didn't work out, it would be very awkward every single time I went to my brothers. I found out she was moving to Georgia for chiropractor school in a couple months so I said that it wouldn't work out. Jasmin told me that Leah's move to GA was postponed until the fall so I decided to text Leah. No response for 24 hours but that's because I texted the wrong number. I finally received the correct number and we went on our first date. After that date, I knew I wanted a future with her. I made a tough decision to move down to GA just after 4-5 months of dating. That was the best decision of my life. We lived down there for 2.5 years and I wouldn't trade that time for anything. I am now blessed that I'll be marrying Leah in October. I'm so excited to see what the future holds for us.
