Ashley Brooke Grossman and Benjamin Max Zises were married Nov. 4 in Boston. Rabbi Michael A. Paley officiated at the Boston Public Library.

The couple met at Boston University, from which they graduated, she cum laude.

Ms. Grossman, 29, is a kindergarten teacher at Columbia Grammar and Preparatory School in New York. She received a master’s degree in early childhood education and special education from Bank Street College of Education.

She is a daughter of Ilene Z. Grossman and Mark D. Grossman of Livingston, N.J. Her father is the president and founder of Mountain Mortgage Corporation in Union, N.J.

Mr. Zises, 33, is the chief operating officer of TriArch Real Estate Group, a real-estate investment company in New York. He is also a director of Boston University Hillel.

He is a son of Cathy W. Zises and Seymour W. Zises, both of New York. His mother is the owner of and manager of ZFarm, an organic farm in Ghent, N.Y. His father is the president of Family Management Corporation, a wealth management and investment advisory firm in New York.

The bride was in her first year at B.U., and the groom was in his last, when they met through mutual friends.

Though he had a serious girlfriend at the time, he said, “I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I noticed Ashley completely, and thought, this really is the cutest girl in the world.”

“I always thought he was a really nice, classy, older guy,” Ms. Grossman said.

She and her friends, she said, would hang out at Mr. Zises’s apartment, to escape dorm life, particularly on Sunday nights. “We would go there and watch ‘Entourage’ on HBO,” she said. “That was kind of our tradition.”

But after he graduated and moved back to New York to begin working, they fell out of touch. He dated regularly though not seriously, and Ms. Grossman said that in college, “I was definitely a party girl.”

In spring 2010, just a month or so before she was to graduate, one of her sisters, having met another of the Zises, asked her if she knew the family. Ms. Grossman’s curiosity about her old college acquaintance was piqued, so she sent him a message on Facebook. He was quick to respond.

Soon, he said, “It was nonstop.” About a month later she messaged him, saying she had a job interview in New York and she would be there for just one evening.

They met for drinks at MercBar, in Soho, and found that conversation came without effort.

“It was the most natural first date I ever had,” he said. “It’s cliché, but we really just fell in love that night.”

They also shared their first kiss. A month later, she moved to New York and the romance flourished.

In spring 2014, the couple moved in together, and Mr. Zises said that changed his life profoundly. “In my fridge, there was leftover Chinese, and ketchup packets, chips and food from a week ago,” he said. “And Ashley is so health-conscious, she lived on berries! I literally never ate fruit until we moved in together and now it’s berries galore. And yogurt. And carrots.”

Last year, Mr. Zises brought Ms. Grossman back to the spot where they first kissed, though the MercBar is no longer there, and asked her to marry him.

In lieu of a more conventional save-the-date announcement, the couple released an original video inspired by Justin Timberlake’s “Can’t Stop the Feeling,” and featuring the two of them dancing and singing lyrics they wrote about their love story. Mr. Zises, without apology, says that he is a Justin Timberlake fan second to no one. “I think he’s as cool as it gets,” he said.

The couple’s video features not just familiar Boston — the Citgo neon over Kenmore Square, Quincy Market, Fenway Park — but, also, appearances by the B.U. mascot and the B.U. dance team, with pompons, dancing in choreographed step with the couple.
