(This is Zach’s account of “our story”)

I suppose our story technically begins at Eric and Brittany Gilbert’s wedding. That was where Anslee and I first met. I remember talking with her amongst a group of people and instantly recognizing her bright personality and sense of humor. Little did I know that we would meet again a little over a year later. This time, she was visiting Centerville to see Eric and Brittany and had tagged along with them to 3 Girls Burgers Restaurant. My brother Nick was playing music and I was accompanying him on the guitar. After the set, I was introduced to Anslee and promptly accepted an invitation from Brittany and Eric (the self proclaimed matchmakers) to go back with them to hangout at their house. At some point in time that night I learned two things: 1: I was very interested in getting to know Anslee better. 2: Anslee is very competitive when it comes to cornhole. .

The next day, Anslee posted on instagram about visiting Brittany and being the “cornhole champions.” This provided me with the perfect excuse to DM her and begin the conversation with a snarky retort. Anslee ended up coming back to Centerville that next weekend and it wasn’t too long after that we began dating. She has come to Centerville quite a few weekends since then and I have started frequenting Henderson, Tennessee. Our story from there is one of good days and bad, highs and lows, but never a doubt that we would eventually find ourselves in this place awaiting our wedding day. We can’t wait to begin forever together!
