Brittany Lebert ’17 ’20 and Nate Henry ’15

I met Nate on the very first day of my freshman year in 2014. My best friend and I had signed up for the Pegasus Palooza Scavenger Hung at the Reflecting Pond, and he was randomly put on our team. A few weeks later, my best friend and I went to the RWC and jokingly said that maybe we would run into the “guy from the Scavenger Hunt,” because he had mentioned that sometimes he went rock climbing. As soon as we walked in, Nate walked in right after us. That day, my best friend told me that I would end up dating him because it was too much of a coincidence. Those “coincidences” kept happening all around campus. We would randomly run into each other in the Student Union between classes or in the parking garage on our way home. At the time, UCF had about 60,000 students, so I thought it was pretty impressive how many times we happened to stumble upon each other! After a couple months of chance meetings, we eventually started dating. UCF is such a fundamental part of our love story, so much so that nine years we took our engagement photos on the steps of the Reflecting Pond in the exact spot we met. We are getting married this year on April 27, and I will always be grateful for the time I spent at UCF and for the huge role it played in helping me find the love of my life!
