Our story began when Omar laid eyes on Zena in the halls of Albany Med and wondered "who dat girl?" Through the help of a mutual friend, he found out who that girl was, and the two later officially met at a party. Over the course of the next year, Zena and Omar became closer friends, secretly smitten with each other, but each too shy to make the first move. Through the help of their friends/wingmen, they finally admitted their feelings to each other and were delighted to find them returned. They hit it off immediately. Zena's favorite things about Omar are how much of a goofy goober he is, how she can be 100% herself with him, and how kind of a heart he has. Omar's favorite things about Zena are her kindness, her warmth, and her patience. If you ask Zena, she had a strong suspicion that Omar would be the One after the very first date. If you ask Omar, he knew the very first time he saw Zena. On May 20th, 2023, Omar and Zena were officially engaged. They are thrilled to get married about one year later on June 22nd, 2024 and can't wait to see everyone there!
