Kendall and Zach first crossed paths at a pre-wedding party in Columbia in 2022. She noticed him across the room—something about him felt familiar. With a little help from a friend (and some Facebook sleuthing), their story quietly began.

Though Kendall initially tried to set Zach up with someone else, fate had other plans. By early 2023, she nudged him to make plans—and after a few months, their first date finally happened at a Cardinals game. It was worth the wait.

Kendall felt a spark right away, but one heart still needed winning: her golden retriever, Brooklynn. Zach came to meet her with flowers in one hand, and dog treats in the other. Brooklynn instantly approved—and the rest was history.

Eleven months later, Zach proposed at a beautiful winery, with Brooklynn by his side wearing a scarf that read, “Will you marry me?” It was a moment full of love, laughter, and a happily ever after in the making.
