Brighton and Zach had their first date on October 13, 2023 where they saw a movie. Brighton told her friends afterwards that she was excited about their first date and how smooth it went! Throughout the next few months, Zach went to watch Brighton cheer at all the JBU basketball games and met her friends. Brighton got to see Zach graduate with his MBA at Henderson State University in December where she met his family for the first time. Later on, Zach got to see Brighton graduate with her BSN in nursing from John Brown University. They both got to celebrate each others birthdays in June of 2024 for the first time together. Then on August 24, 2024 Zach proposed to Brighton at Crystal Bridges in Bentonville, Arkansas. There Brighton said YES to spending the rest of their lives together. Which is how we got to where we are today getting ready to celebrate the wedding of the future Hansen’s on Sunday June 1, 2025 at Barn at the Springs here in NWA.
