Long before either of us could have imagined planning a wedding together, our paths had already begun crossing in ways neither of us fully appreciated at the time. In 2016, Galit was hired to photograph AEPi composites, thanks in part to her brother, Tal, who was in the fraternity the same time as Harrison. During that shoot, she briefly met Harrison. It was a quick interaction, one that could have easily been forgotten among the countless faces and events that come with college life.

As the months went on, our worlds continued to overlap while attending Florida Atlantic University with school functions, Owls Football games, and AEPi events. We were never completely disconnected, always finding ourselves in the same circles, attending the same gatherings, and sharing more mutual connections than we realized. What started as occasional encounters gradually turned into conversations, friendships, and eventually something much more.

By November 2016, those chance meetings had turned into the beginning of our relationship. What followed was more than 7 years of long-distance dating between Orlando and South Florida, countless trips up and down the Turnpike, thousands of miles driven, and more SunPass tolls than wed ever care to calculate. Looking back, every drive, every weekend visit, and every goodbye was worth it.

Its funny to think how easily things could have unfolded differently. If Galit hadn't taken that photography job, if our paths hadn't continued crossing through campus, or if either of us had skipped just one of the many events where we found ourselves together, we might not be welcoming you to Boca Raton on March 14, 2027.

We are incredibly grateful for the people, moments, and coincidences that brought us here, and even more grateful to celebrate this next chapter with all of you. Thank you for being part of our story.
