There were many moments Leah and Carsten could have met during their early times at USC. They had many mutual friends and hung out in the same places. There was even a point where Carsten stumbled on Leah's Instagram and wanted to reach out but didn't (and told his brother that he would marry her). It wasn't until the fall of 2019, their last year at USC, that Leah and Carsten finally met.

Now I want you to guess where they met. We'll give you a clue. It's the most romantic place on USC's campus... If you guessed the Lyon Center (USC Gym), then you are correct. Yes, Carsten first laid eyes on Leah at the gym. Now, you can imagine that after all of this time, he finally sees the "girl he's going to marry." What is he going to say to her? You would think a nice "hello" or "How are you?" would be the response, but no. Instead, he said, "If I'm in your way, it's because I'm lifting heavy." For some reason, it worked! The two started dating later that month after nights of Leah doing Carsten's homework and long walks on the beach.

When the pandemic hit in March, they were four months into dating, but they took a chance and moved in together. Now, here they are five years later!
