We met on April 9, 2017, and things clicked almost right away. Within 24 hours, we both had a feeling this was going to be something special. For the next several months we lived in different states, taking turns making the trip between Illinois and Tennessee just to spend time together. After plenty of tearful goodbyes, Aubree moved to Illinois to be with Zack, and we finally got to start our life together in the same place. Since then, we have built a life full of love, laughter, and all the little everyday things that mean the most to us. We love going to the movies, finding new music, and spending quiet nights at home with books, video games, and our ever-growing record collection. Zack always knows how to make Aubree laugh, and Aubree keeps life interesting in the best way. We share the same nerdy side, the same sentimental heart, and the same love of just being together. Whether we are staying up late talking, watching Disney movies, or just doing our own thing side by side, that is when we are happiest. On April 9, 2025, exactly eight years after we met, Zack asked Aubree to marry him. It was simple, sweet, and perfect. Now we are so excited to celebrate with the people we love most.
