Like all great modern love stories, ours started with Zach coming to Emmas rescue like a knight in shining armour… just kidding, we met on Tinder. In the fall of 2020, in the middle of the pandemic, we both swiped right and took a chance on finding love. What started as a simple first date became the beginning of a life we could not have imagined - but would not change for anything. As many friends and family can attest, we pretty much became inseparable (Zach claims it was his charm, Emma claims it was her personality —others say it was the truck).

Over the years, we have built a relationship filled with laughter, support, and the kind of love that makes even ordinary days feel special. We’ve binge-watched countless shows, gone on many trips and adventures, met each other's friends and family and only argued a reasonable amount over takeout orders. In 2024, we made our dreams come true and bought our first house. Shortly after, we added a very furry (and very spoiled) golden retriever named Clover to the family.

Then, just before Christmas, on December 23, 2025, Zach asked the easiest question in the world right in our home, the place that holds so many memories, several dog toys and now one unforgettable moment. Spoiler alert: Emma said yes!

We’re so excited to begin this next chapter together, and even more grateful to share it with the people we love most.
