We met in June 2021 shortly after Nicole moved to the St. louis area - off of a dating app, who would have thought! Our first date was at Schlafly Bankside Brewery and lasted 8 hours! We quickly knew that we have found the one and didn't want the date to end. We both love to travel and experience new things, spend time outdoors hiking and exploring with our pup Callie (who grew attached to Zach in no time and vice versa), visiting the beautiful wineries and cheering on the St. Louis Blues and Cardinals. We bought our first house together in March 2023 and on May 21st 2023, Zach proposed to Nicole at beautiful Klondike park. Zach had Nicole's sister and brother-in-law join to snap some pictures of the special moment and had organized for family to gather to celebrate after at nearby Defiance Ridge Vineyards. We are so excited for you all to celebrate our special day with us!
