Our love story is like a rollercoaster ride at an amusement park—full of unexpected twists, laughter-inducing turns, and moments that make our hearts race with excitement. Picture this: a quirky meet-cute on a dating app where two souls, armed with terrible lying skills, decided to embark on a digital adventure.

Zach, fresh from a 10.5-month deployment, and Amber, juggling work and the antics of their canine companions, Nugget, Daisy and Minnie, found themselves swiping right and laughing at life's unpredictability. Zach, self-proclaimed as the first to know, checked his dating app with the enthusiasm of a kid waiting for a snow day.

Fast forward to a date night filled with laughter thanks to the Wild and Wonderful White of West Virginia, setting the tone for a connection that was as wild and wonderful as West Virginia itself. Who would have thought that amidst the chaos of dating app horror stories, our duo would find something extraordinary?

Before we knew it, we were spending more time together than apart, with impromptu road trips and plans of living in houses chosen based on their potential to house Zach's dad's boat. If that's not a fun twist in a love story, what is?

Cue the holiday season, and we were on a road trip extravaganza from Florida to West Virginia, with stops in Virginia for good company. Armed with the perfect gifts, including family photos at the botanical gardens for Zach's mom, our dynamic duo navigated rainy drives and lasagna soup feasts with style.

But hold on, here comes the grand finale! In the freezing embrace of a winter's day, amidst family photos and gloves purchased on a whim, Zach decided to throw in the ultimate surprise—a proposal. And of course, in true fun-loving fashion, the nerves got the best of him, leading to a whimsical demand: "You're going to have to take your gloves off."

Amber, playing along with equal charm, responded, "Are you going to ask?" And just like that, in a moment that could be straight out of a romantic comedy, Zach found the words, and the rest, as they say, is history.

Our love story, a delightful blend of spontaneity and laughter, is our favorite adventure. As we gear up for our special day, we can't wait to keep the fun alive, creating a lifetime of memories filled with laughter, love, and a dash of whimsy. Here's to the most fun-loving love story ever! 🎉💑🎢
