Zena and Adam met the way a lot of modern love stories begin — online. After getting to know each other from afar, they finally met for their first date at a cozy teahouse in New York City. One date quickly turned into many as they explored the city and realized that despite coming from different parts of the world — Zena from Siberia and Adam from Ohio — being with each other just felt right. Before long, they traded New York winters for sunny Long Beach, California.

Four years later, we’re best friends, true loves, and partners in life — and we’re finally ready to make it official!
