We met our freshman year, spring semester, at this ZBT Social at AJ's.  (Yes, this is literally a picture of the night we first met).  Zachary was in Zeta Beta Tau (ZBT) Fraternity and Olivia attended their party with her friends.  Despite our instant connection, the timing was not right for the first few years of college and we only saw each other in passing.

We started dating the summer before senior year, bonding over FSU study abroad and shared plans to go to law school.  We had run into each other at a bar and immediately realized our connection had not faded.  Our first official date was ZBT's Semi-Formal.

We grew close fall semester of senior year while studying for the LSAT and completing our law school applications.  Zachary motivated Olivia with his impressive work-ethic, intelligence, and perseverance, making her even more infatuated.

Before going home for the holidays, Olivia surprised Zachary by decorating his room on his 22nd birthday, which was the first of many birthdays together.

We went on a romantic vacation right before our last semester of college started.  This was the first time we traveled together, just us.  We laughed, explored, and flirted a lot.

After months of quickly falling in love, Zachary finally asked Olivia to be his girlfriend on January 18, 2015. 

We spent the last four months of college enjoying Zachary's homemade pasta and going on adventures.
