In October of 2024 Rebecca had been working at Walter Reed Medical center as an Executive Assistant for a year, while Zachary had been teaching as a PE and Health teacher at Davis Middle school for 5 years. Life felt pretty dull when it came to romantic relationships-until, luckily for Zach, Rebecca popped up on Zach's dating App.

Having gone to the same High School in La Plata MD, they thought it would be cool to meet up with an old friend, not knowing where it would lead. After some chatting they decided to get together- but unfortunately, Rebecca got very sick before they were supposed to meet. Zach thought, "This is it, she's making some excuse not to see me."

Rebecca surprised him by rescheduling for the next weekend. One weekend turned into another, and then another until they realized they didn't want to keep saying goodbye every Sunday night.

They decided to take the leap and move in together. Since then life has been nothing but learning, growing and finding space for all of Rebecca's things. They never imagined that someone they walked the halls with over 10 years ago would become their best friend and the person they wanted to do life with forever. 10 years of heartbreak, life lessons, laughter, and just becoming who they needed to be.

Rebecca and Zach are so excited to begin this next chapter and celebrate with all of you!
