Wedding Location

The Story of Kari and Zach 

The Story of Kari and Zach, Kari and Zach met on Tinder in February 2019, coincidentally swiping right on each other. After matching, long story short they started chatting and realized it was time for an in person date. Things started falling into place, to say they were head over heels is an understatement. Kari and Zach both being advocates of the great state we call Michigan, time on the water, outdoors, and constant travel, safe to say it was a match made in heaven (thank you Tinder).&nbsp; Kari and Zach have made it through the basics. Meeting each other's families, learning the in and outs about close friends, moving in together and navigating careers. Through all the rough times and good, they still made it a priority to have each other at the end of the day. Feelings started to grow and they quickly realized that they can’t do life without one or the other by their side.&nbsp; Fast forward, four Winters, Springs, Summers and falls passed. Zach bought the most beautiful diamond ring, and asked Kari’s family for her hand in marriage. Shakily, Zach got down on one knee and asked a question that will alter both of their lives forever.&nbsp; Kari said yes (of course have you seen the ring?!). All jokes aside- This couple was bound to find one another. If you’re in a room with them you’d know. The love, laughter and protection they have for each other is well known. Kari and Zach cannot wait to have you all attend the celebration of their love and future journeys!&nbsp; May Kari and Zach have a long lasting marriage. “Let us rejoice and be glad and give him the glory! For the wedding of the Lamb has come, and his bride has made herself ready”-Revelation 19:7
