Wedding Day

Our Wedding

What once started out as a kind gesture, quickly turned into love at first sight. One sunny Fall day, Zack was in Rochester, MN working and was kind enough to help put a friends clothes and other personal belongings into his other friends sisters car, which turned out to be Kallie's car. While Zack was minding his own business putting said clothes and belongings into his friend's sisters car he connected gazes with Kallie. Obviously too shocked and stunned someone so pretty as Kallie would ever look at him, he might have starred a bit too long and it didn't go unnoticed. Later that weekend Kallie's sister was getting married and Zack was also invited to the wedding and from there he was determined to make Kallie notice him once again. Zack and Kallie tore the dance floor up like it was 1999 and would occasionally meet eyes and be "flirtatious" but never having the opportunity to really meet each other. The night went on and then it came to an end. Zack was determined to find Kallie and make a connection with her. So, what does a 20 something year old do to make a connection these days? He drops a message to Kallie in her Facebook DMs. From that moment on Kallie and Zack would continuously made conversation and at some point Zack had the courage to ask Kallie to meet up for drinks and dinner. This may seem like an easy thing to do but at this time Kallie was living in Downtown Rochester and Zack was living in Downtown Minneapolis. Quite the drive for one of them (and no it wasn't Zack who made the initial trip down to Rochester. What a gentleman, right?!) Plans were made and the day had arrived for them to go on this first date. Zack was obviously excited since he was so smitten by Kallie from the first glance, but Kallie was a bit more nervous to meet this guy who she only knew through her sister and met at the wedding. Kallie decided at this time she needed an out. She made up a little white lie about going to see her Grandma and she totally forgot about the plans she had and had to reschedule . Zack was obviously bummed but made every attempt to make things work and from what we can only tell by writing this, the persistence paid off. Kallie made the drive up to Minneapolis and from that point over 4 years ago from this writing, they have been almost inseparable. Each of them making the drive from Minneapolis to Rochester after work during the week and getting up at the crack of dawn to make it in time for work. Fast forward to now, Kallie and Zack are parents to an amazing little human named Lenora (Lenny for short). The things that brought them together on the first date, food and drinks, are still what they enjoy the most now. Zack and Kallie are always on the go. Kallie, with her job being a Pre-School Teacher in Kasson, helping brides/bridesmaid look beautiful on their wedding days by doing their makeup, playing with Lenny, and continuously pranking Zack. Zack working at Wells Fargo, coaching Hockey, running after Lenny, and surviving Kallie's pranks. Even being so busy they always find time to be with one another when things slow down. They continuously learn new things about one another, grow from mistakes, and value being the best parents to their first born daughter.
