Our Wedding

Although I'd love to say that Zach and I&nbsp;met in a romantic setting and it was 'love at first sight', the truth is, like a lot of couples these days, we met online. We started talking on June 21st, 2016 and literally have never stopped to this day. From the start, I had a feeling that Zach was "the one" and the more I got to know his personality and goals in life, the more that feeling grew. We truly brought out the best in each other. We welcomed our cute little boy,&nbsp;Scout (our Corgi!) in September 2017 and he has become our whole world. We spent as much time together as our crazy work schedules&nbsp;allowed but decided that this wasn't enough and officially moved in together in August 2018. We've had so much fun making our little house a home and becoming a family.&nbsp; 









In June 2019, Zach and I planned a New England Road Trip to Cape Cod, Acadia National Park Maine and New Hampshire. Although we spoke of engagement previously and I was anxiously anticipating the day it would&nbsp;finally happen&nbsp;;),&nbsp;Zach hadn't brought the topic up in some time so I wasn't entirely expecting that we would get engaged on vacation. Little did I&nbsp;know, Zach had a ring hidden away for over a month and was planning what would become the best day of my life. One of Acadia National Park's gems is Cadillac Mountain. During certain times of the year, Cadillac Mountain is the first place you can view the sunrise in the United States as it is the highest point along the North&nbsp;Atlantic. On June 18th, Zach and I woke up at 3:30am and made our way to the top of the mountain.&nbsp;Zach got down on one knee and asked me to marry him with the most beautiful sunrise in the background! With all the excitement, it's still a little fuzzy to me, but apparently I held out a shaking hand and said "yes, yes yes!" before Zach could even finish the question... I may have been just a little excited!!! The proposal was more than I could have ever hoped for and I will always be grateful to Zach for going to such lengths to make it so special.&nbsp;

















After we returned home, we decided not to waste any time and began planning our big day right away! We are so thankful to all of our friends and family who have been a part of our relationship from the start and we cannot wait to celebrate our 'happily ever after' as Mr. and Mrs. Zachary Dotter with all of you by our side.&nbsp;

"Once in awhile, right in the middle of an ordinary life, Love gives us a Fairytale."
