Ground zero
Can you please check my sentences and tell me if I understand this expression correctly?
For example:
1) It is only ground zero for our project. There still is a lot to come!
2) 2 years ago you were at ground zero of your relationships, and now you are getting married. It's just a really hard thing to believe.
Can you please define it? I'll really appreciate it!

'Ground Zero' is the place on the ground where an explosion begins when a bomb is dropped, So 1 is a touch melodramatic but just about OK, 2 is probably over the top.
