He was her counselor on her BBYO trip to Israel when she was 16 and he was 22. She liked him the way hummus likes pita, but nothing happened while they were on their trip. However, it must have been b&#8217;shert because three years later, they rekindled their friendship while Brad was visiting the University of Michigan and stopped by Rachel&#8217;s sorority house for a hello. This time, sparks flew and they began the romantic adventure of long distance dating. Three more years went by, and Brad and Rachel were finally united when they moved to D.C., and after another four years, they finally got married!\u00a0 A lot of shlepping, sure, but as they say: Good
