Grace and Zach first matched on Hinge in January of 2024. Grace had just moved back to Kansas City after graduation and Zach was finishing his last semester of Physical Therapy School. They started texting on a Saturday and met in person for the first time on the following Tuesday and they've been inseparable ever since. They officially started dating on March 13, 2024. By the summer they had made the crazy decision to move to Manhattan, KS together, where they lived for 9 months. While in Manhattan, they adopted their dog, Mooney. Zach was able to transfer within the VA back to Leavenworth by March of 2025 where they moved into their second apartment together. In June of 2025, they decided to buy a house together in Parkville, Missouri. Two weeks before moving in, Zach decided to pop the big question and ask Grace to marry him.

Our story has been fast paced and hectic, but incredibly fun and so worth it. We wouldn't change a thing! We can't wait to see where God continues to take us in this life together.
