Hello! If you do not know the bride or the groom here is a little start and background of how they met and everything since!

First and foremost we are excited to see everyone on our big day and we greatly appreciate you celebrating with us!

Bri's side:

I moved to Eagle, CO in 2017 after my parents decided to move from my hometown in New Mexico. It was my senior year and I started at Eagle Valley High School. I met Zak through a good friend of mine named Sydney and Kyle Farris; Zak is one of Kyle's good friends. Side note Zak was dating someone else at the time and is also a year younger than I am. After meeting Zak I remember telling Syd "Why are all the good ones always taken?". I never pursued anything and respected my boundaries. I worked at the local movie theaters and he would always come in due to me giving him free popcorn and candy all the time (I might've flirted with him here and there). Senior prom came around and I went with a good buddy of his and he went with someone else. We hung out for the majority of the night with the groups and he "accidentally" touched my butt. When my senior year ended I graduated with his older brother Jake and we had no contact until October of 2019, next thing you know he was asking me out on a date to Ekahi (a local Hawaiin restaurant). One thing led to another and here we are 4 years later about to get married. Who would've known that the guy I thought was cute and sweet in high school would end up being the Love of my Life?

Zak's side:

I heard their was a new girl in town but I didn't think much of her due to me being in a different relationship. We started talking here and there because we had friends in common and I would see her all the time at the movie theaters. She would give me free popcorn and candy all the time. I knew she was only giving me free candy because she had a crush on me. I had a crush on her( I still do) so i would flirt with her. We would talk here and there and we had weightlifting class together. I was definitely looking at new cars if you know what I mean. After that we didn't really talk much until a year later after I was single. I gave my buddy Kyle a call and asked what he had thought of bri and he said she was a "pretty cool gal". So I decided to ask her out on a date, I used my last $38 dollars in my bank account. Was well worth it might I add. Even though I couldn't hear her that well (because if you know bri she is very soft spoken) I knew she was the one. She was even late to work just to sit and talk with me. And here we are 4 years later about to marry the love of my life. Who would've thought my soulmate was from the complete opposite side of the country.
