Our Wedding

Our story has certainly been unique, some may say insane. We’ve known of each other through events and shows during High School before officially being introduced when we were 19. Hannah and her sister, Alexis, went to their friend Drew Sullivan’s house to hang out and that is when Hannah first noticed Zach. Zach was playing an NSFW, on the spot, version of “Hey There Delilah” on an acoustic guitar, but it was how he was sitting that truly caught Hannah’s eye. She found the situation quite adorable – but also knew this man had a sense of humor that she liked. We didn't spend too much time together during this hangout, but we both felt the attraction. It was palpable.&nbsp; It wasn’t until another friend’s small gathering when Hannah ventured down into the basement, to get a little piece of quiet, that she found Zach sitting on a bench alone. He had asked, “you too?”, and from there they spent the next three hours getting to know one another. We did find a lot of common interests and similarities in our upbringing where we both come from a strong background in competitive sports. As a competitive gymnast and a baseball player, you can only imagine how super competitive we are against each other. Which is how that night turned out. Long story short, Hannah did the most pushups (even if Zach tells you otherwise). The next gathering, Zach and Hannah’s attraction grew and turned into a night full of flirting and eventually, after Zach vomited from drinking that night, did they share their first kiss and had a hot steamy night in Drew’s basement bedroom – wink wink. The next day Zach had reached out to Hannah telling her that he had given her an STD as a joke and asked her on a date. Only a select few know the story of our first date and for a reason too. If you know, you know. Needless to say, it was a wild but fun one! (If you're super curious to know, just get Zach a few beers/shots to get him blabbering) Fast forward 9 years later, Zach FINALLY got on one knee and proposed to Hannah on October 7th, 2023, in Rodeo, California.&nbsp;
