Our Wedding

Zack and Kayleigh met each other in their first year at the University of Maryland. Zack's freshman-year roommate was an old friend of Kayleigh's from high school and as she came over to visit her friend, she slowly started coming just to visit Zack. Before long, they were in love and began dating... and the rest is history.

How We Met

After graduating, Zack and Kayleigh got their first apartment together in Wheaton, Maryland. Kayleigh is a math teacher at the local middle school and Zack works as a consumer advocate at the Center for Study of Responsive Law. Zack and Kayleigh love to spend their time trying new restaurants in the area, hanging out with their friends, and going for walks in their local park.

After College

Zack took Kayleigh on a trip to Annapolis where they spent the day visiting museums and the Maryland State House. After having a nice dinner together, they went for an evening stroll on the boardwalk. As they walked together in the moonlight along the water, Zack got down on one knee and proposed.
