Our Wedding

Zach and Rob met on Hinge and both of them were not sure what they were looking for. One thing is for sure, they were both interested. Zach was staying in Texas and Rob was in Napa when they connected. Since Zach was in Texas at the time, he assumed Rob was a local and thought: “ugh, I wish he lived in New York”. He was excited when Rob told him, while he didnt live in New York, he did live in Jersey City.  Once they both returned from their trips, they planned a date for August 23rd at La Biblioteca and it was definitely a night to remember. Zach arrived 1st and after going downstairs to the bar, he noticed there were no tables available and no chairs at the bar. Since he didnt see Rob, he decided to go to the bathroom. Rob arrived shortly thereafter, went downstairs to the bar, and eagerly looked around for his date. After also seeing that all the tables were full and Zach was nowhere in sight, he decided to go to the bathroom as well. While Rob was walking into the bathroom, he walked past a very good looking guy in a skyblue button down. They both smiled as they walked by and went their separate ways. Rob then walked out of the bathroom and texted Zach to see where he was. As they both were standing next to the bar, their phones buzzed and they looked at each other laughing. They looked around to see if there was a table that they could sit at and noticed the table in front of them had the check signed, so they asked the guy at the table if he would be getting up and he said: “yes, as soon as I finish my drink”. Zach and Rob sat with the random guy at the table for 30 minutes and were talking about how it was their 1st date. They were laughing and having a good time - but, 3 is a crowd. Finally, the guy got up and Zach and Rob had a chance to speak one-on-one. They laughed continuously and stayed at the restaurant until it closed. After they left, they decided to get Margaritas and Nachos and something clicked. From that night on, they constantly spoke, got dinner together, and even met their families shortly thereafter. Rob was invited to Sukkot at Zach’s parents’ house where he met Alan, Ellen, and Jacob. Soon after, he was invited to an event at TGP where Zach and Jacob were hosting a karaoke event (Rob drank a lot of wine, laughed, and got to know them even more). Zach met Lindsay and Sam at a restaurant by the water in Jersey City. Everyone got along as if they had known each other for years. Zach met Glenn on New Year’s Eve and the meeting went great! Zach asked a technologically-challenged older woman to take a picture of the three of them to remember the night. She spent 10 minutes figuring out how to use an iPhone, which made everyone hysterical. Their families started hanging out, getting close, and coming together for dinners, holidays, and other events. Both families felt that it was a perfect match. Rob being a Type A , sarcastic, say-it-like-is personality was a great compliment to Zach’s fun loving, carefree, and easy-going personality. The Wasserman & Kraditor families started acting as though they were one family from the very beginning. All the siblings formed a “sibling crew” who hang out regularly. Zach decided to leave Astoria (after a run in with a rat) and moved to Jersey City to be closer to Rob. Zach and Rob moved in together in 2021 and on Thanksgiving 2022 Rob proposed to Zach and he said YES!
