Zach & Kori both grew up in the same town & had similar friends. They went to opposite high-schools and you know right place, right time? Their story is the opposite of that. Every time their paths crossed for years, one of them would be single while the other was in a relationship, they would live states away (Zach in NY, Kori in NC), or some combination of the above.

Eventually they both wound up single & back living in their hometown at the same time. He found this out because she was out on a date at Yarde Tavern in Enfield. He could see that she was back in town & that it was a first date that wasn't going so hot (she was just there for free drinks & happy hour food). Zach almost went to go swoop in but didn't (he was likely too busy watching hockey playoffs with the boys).

Fast forward a couple days & Kori sees Zach on the dating app Hinge while scrolling away. She swiped right, because she thought he was 6ft tall. Turns out he is 5"11 and likes to just think he is 6ft tall.

Thankfully by the time she found out his true height, she was in too deep. Coincidentally they had their first date at Yarde. Even after this first date consisting of a drink, which turned into trivia, which then turned into her having a few too many IPA's and laying across the bar chairs...he still didn't run. In fact, he drove her home and asked when the next time he could see her was.

The upcoming weeks resulted in a Bruins game, car karaoke (her voice is not karaoke worthy), couples massages, & the best catch of his life in their soon to be favorite place (turns out she's a better fisherman than him).

He was also in too deep, because even after she flipped the canoe while getting out for the 900th time...he asked her to be his girlfriend (again in their favorite place).

Fast forward about a year and they were both ready to move out of their parents' houses as COVID was coming to a front. There's nothing romantic about bringing your girlfriend down into your dad's basement to spend the night.

The following June they moved into their home where they now share 2 dog sons & 8 chicken daughters. They are now happily engaged and can't wait to get married in their favorite place and celebrate with their favorite people.
