How It All Started

Our Story

Armen and Zoe early days

Chapter One

How We Met

Armen and Zoe first met at a work happy hour at a Fogo de Chao in September of 2021. They immediately hit it off discussing the Steelers and their family ties to Pittsburgh. After a few quiet Friday evenings flirting in the back of the C3 office in Tysons, they mutually asked each other out.

The next few months, they met each other's families, Armen listened to Zoe complain relentlessly about Kenny Pickett, and they started to build the foundation for the rest of their lives together.

Chapter Two

Growing Together

The relationship bloomed and they took off on a whirlwind of adventures. Travel became a key part of the relationship and they have embarked on a multitude of trips together. Armen tried suba diving in Costa Rica, Zoe learned to enjoy golf in Mallorca, they fullfiled a bucket list item for Zoe and saw the Northern Lights in Finland, and they watched Zoe's team fail to podium in Monza (rip Ferrari).

The Proposal

After 4 years together, Armen quietly got the ring and was ready to propose. On a warm day in DC that started with thunderstorms, only to later clear up, they headed to Georgetown to meet a friend. Shortly before they arrived, the garden that Armen had carefully picked to propose in said they were closing for the weather that was nowhere to be seen. However, it immediately started pouring rain.

When the rain finally stopped, in the garden at Tudor place, Armen asked Zoe to marry him and she said yes. He had a great dinner planned at the restaurant they went to for Zoe's birthday the first year they were together.
