Our story

It all started in the fall of 2016 in Grand Rapids, Michigan. Audrey and Zack were newly graduated twenty-something-year-olds taking a leap into the adult world. One had just moved from the Spartan Land of East Lansing, Michigan. The other had a much longer voyage from Shippensburg, Pennsylvania.

Audrey was working as an athletic trainer at a local hospital living with her best friend, Beau the pitbull mix. Zack was building his marketing career and exploring the town with his college soul dog, Pacer the GSP.

They found themselves on their first date at Founders Brewery. They instantly connected with their love for dogs, eclectic taste in music, and their mutual silly sense of humor. Audrey loved Zack’s authenticity as Zack loved Audrey’s spontaneity. Most importantly they shared a love for God and cherished their fundamental Christian values.

Audrey got into the University of Pittsburgh where she graduated with a masters and doctorate of physical therapy. Zack and Audrey lived together in southside of Pittsburgh for 5 years. After graduation, they bought their first home back in Michigan and are entering a new chapter of life. They’ve continued their love for dualing piano bars, outdoor adventures, puppy love, and their dedication for one another.

To say the past 8 years have been easy would be far from the truth. They managed to keep above water through the pandemic, lived with tight budgets and run down home rentals, and endured the tremendous loss of Zack’s older brother, Zane. Most recently, they lost their beloved Pacer, as well.

They’ve faced much adversity but through it all they’ve kept each other up and held strong. Their love and resilience for one another is unique and one that will last a lifetime.
