Denise and Zach met in pharmacy school at Harding University in 2017. They ran around in the same friend group for about one year before acknowledging one another. Most dates consisted of study sessions learning about medications and preparing for exams, although often they were able to sneak away and do some hiking, paddle boarding, and exploring the cities around them. As they learned more about one another they were also building relationships with each others friends and family. After about six months of dating they decided to get a dog together and found Milo, their Memorial Day sale puppy. And now, their best friend. Denise moved home to Northwest Arkansas for about a year to finish her clinicals where she allocated a job after graduation, and Zach followed suit a few months later. Zach Proposed to Denise on October 1st 2023 after shortly moving into their new home in Centerton, AR. The couple is eagerly planning their special day and are thrilled to have loving friends and family there to celebrate with them. They hope to see you all in Fayetteville!
