Zach and Alyssa met on an app called "Tinder". It was love at first swipe. Our first date was at Lake Seminole Park where we shared a chicken tender sub from Publix. It was a beautiful day and we sat and talked. After that, we went on two dates in a day! This photo was taken at a beach shortly after Zach and Alyssa met. On October 6th, 2020, Zach and Alyssa made their relationship official.

Our first Christmas together with our cat Bella! This was Zach's grandmother's cat and we fell in love with her. We were surprised we got her to hold so still in this photo. She is a feisty cat but loves cuddles (on her own time)!

My friend Brittany had some kittens that needed a home. Since we had Bella, Zach wanted to "foster the kitten for a week" to see how Bella would adjust to a new kitten in the house. It was hard at first, but we knew Cannoli belonged in our little family. Bella and Cannoli get along so well! Cannoli is rambunctious with a huge personality. She also loves people!

This was Zach and Alyssa's first official road trip to no other than Tallahassee, Florida! Due to the pandemic, Alyssa couldn't walk the stage for her Bachelor's degree until a year later in May 2021. This was a special moment for Alyssa to show Zach where she lived right before the two met. Go Seminoles!

While on vacation to attend Anna's Baptism, Zach proposed to Alyssa in Rome, Italy at the Spanish Steps. Alyssa was in shock after and could not stop crying. This is without a doubt the happiest moment ever.
