Our story started thanks to a mutual friend who invited us to a beach day. Between Zach belting out "white girl bangers", non-stop laughter, and a marathon of Mario Kart where Zach quickly learned just how competitive Alex is, we clicked right away.

It didn’t take long to realize how much we loved being together. Since then we’ve been each other’s biggest supporters through graduations, new jobs, and all the little moments in between. We still laugh together constantly, and that shared joy has been at the center of our relationship.

Zach proposed in the way that felt most like us, on the beach, surrounded by family, on July 4th; our favorite holiday. We can’t wait to celebrate our wedding in Beechgrove, TN and spend the rest of our lives making each other laugh and feel loved.
