💕 Our Story

Our story technically began back in 2014, when fate gave us a little preview of what was to come. Zack’s mom, Cathy, had invited a work friend for a weekend trip up to Sandusky. That friend brought his girlfriend—Micah. Zack was there too, with his then-girlfriend. We met, locked eyes, and felt something... but both of us were in relationships, so life went on.

Fast forward about a year, and everything had changed. We were both single, and Micah reached out to Zack on Facebook. The connection was instant—and this time, it stuck.

We started dating in June of 2015, and hit it off immediately. We spent that first year doing what we’ve loved ever since: going everywhere and seeing everything. From the Grand Canyon to Vegas, Colorado to San Francisco, Florida to Canada—we’ve always been explorers at heart, happiest when we’re discovering new places together.

Moving in together just kind of... happened. Six months in, we looked at each other and said, “I guess we live together now?” It was easy. Natural. Just right.

We even managed what most couples can't: working side by side. We started out at Waterbeds 'n' Stuff (yes, that’s a real place), where Zack was the manager and Micah was the cashier. Later, we both joined the Bath & Body Works Distribution Center in New Albany, working our way up over 8 years—both eventually becoming Group Leads. We were a true power couple, and honestly? We loved it.

Today, our life is full of cozy routines, cat snuggles, and laughter. We live on the north side of Columbus with our three beloved cats:

Ludo, a big, sweet Maine Coon who’s the gentle giant of the house.

Bishop, our wise older black cat, rocking life with just one eye.

Mochi, the mischievous little tabby who keeps us on our toes.

On June 1st, 2025—exactly 10 years from our first official date—Zack proposed to Micah in front of the Washington Monument. A full-circle moment in every way.

Now, we're planning the next step: finding a home just outside the city where we can have a little land, a lot of peace, and room to grow. Married life will be full of new adventures and experiences—and we couldn’t be more excited to share this next chapter with all of you.
