Our Wedding

In Chillicothe, Ohio, Zech and Caroline worked together for almost a year. They were the best of friends and constantly pranking and pestering each other just about everyday. Caroline had been going through an extremely tough chapter in her life. Little did she know Zech had recently went through something similar. Ultimate Heartbreak. Shortly after learning this from both sides, Zech, who has spent everyday with Caroline and had became such close friends, had found a new job in Columbus. Caroline was devastated. She had very few friends at the time. She had finally started feeling like life was getting brighter but now, her bestest friend was leaving and wasn’t sure if she’d ever see him again. He had 2 weeks left.. When Caroline heard the news, she felt something she hadn’t felt before with Zech. With tears streaming down her face, she realized in that moment she had caught feelings for him. That work day had ended, Caroline and a close girl friend had chatted and convinced Caroline to go for it. She was going to tell Zech what she was feeling. She didn’t have much time left with him so what did she have to lose? Lo and behold by Caroline’s surprise, the feelings were mutual!!! Beaming from ear and nerves through the roof, Zech confessed he was saddened too for leaving. He had had a 3 month long crush on Caroline! So what does he do next? Asks her on a date of course! Caroline was just about to start bouncing off the walls with excitement. She immediately goes clothes shopping that night and by the next night they were at the Polaris mall. Did they buy anything? Of course not! Did Caroline smell every Yankee candle! Duh! Zech being Zech, tried to buy her anything he seen that caught her eye. Caroline refused. So they spent the time walking, window shopping, and really getting to know each other talking and laughing the whole time. Peace and healing fun their heats needed for so long. Movies were next! They watched “The Pool” and “The Bee Keeper” back to back. Typical, “scary movie makes the girl jump. She then jumps nearly in the guys arms,”type of date (she think he chose that movie on purpose! Haha!). The night ended perfectly. They ended up going on several dates after. They made it official January 23rd, 2024. Little did they know what was about to happen. Zech started his new job in Columbus while Caroline stayed in Chillicothe. At the time, she had been dealing with pain in her pelvis. She goes to the doctor to then be told that not only does she have PCOS, but that she can’t naturally conceive babies. Yet again, devastated, Caroline’s world felt upside down all over again. She had no idea how to tell Zech. They weren’t trying, but she didn’t know at the time if kids were something he wanted in the future. When she told him, he was super supportive and told her that life would still have meaning and purpose. Caroline still really struggled mentally and physically. Meds were prescribed, cysts rupturing, and ER/Urgent Care trips.. Zech was always there. God has a hilarious sense of humor though don’t ya know?… The SAME week Caroline got her diagnosis, she was also PREGNANT and they had no idea. They had put her on meds that can make a person severely sick so they didn’t think anything of it until, she had been off the meds for a few weeks and she still was ill. April 18th, 2024 at 5:30am while she was getting ready for work, Caroline got her first “dye stealer” positive pregnancy. She was almost 9 weeks pregnant!!! Fast forward, June 8th of 2024, they found out the little miracle was a boy! They soon bought their first home together that August. December 8th, after 20+ hours of constant miserable labor, Elias James Hagerman made his remarkable appearance into the world. No money, a 2 week old newborn, and their first Christmas together, it was agreed upon the couple that they didn’t need to buy each other gifts. If they did, it would be something extremely small. Caroline being Caroline, ended up having to buy him a few items, matching beanies with the baby and fuzzy socks Zech had been requesting. Christmas Day rolls around, Zech opens his gift stoked as ever! After, he quickly leaves the living room to their bedroom saying, “Hold on. I forgot something.” Caroline was in baggy pajamas still and heatless curlers in her hair. He walks back in the living room beside their tiny newborn son in his bouncer, and gets down on one knee!!! Caroline was completely shocked and speechless but somehow found the way to say, “yes!” Zech and Caroline cannot wait to finally become one and see what God writes next in their story and in their future blessings. They want to extend their excitement to you who will be celebrating with them on their marriage! You all have been there for them since the beginning! September 26, 2026 can’t come soon enough! Future Mr. And Mrs. Hagerman!!!
