Our Wedding

How Our Love Began

Our meaningful love and relationship started with how every couple begins - with a date. An ordinary action that would kick off a lifetime's worth of companionship and love. For the short time Zack and I have been together, we created so many memories filled with happy moments, and we are so excited to begin our future. This second date was monumental to us as a couple, because on this night, Zack showed up in his best attire with flowers in hand to whisk me away to a beautiful restaurant with a view in Chagrin Falls. On this night, he asked me to be his girlfriend. When this night began, I was absolutely frantic. My sorority little and close friend, Christina, was doing her best to reassure me that he had feelings for me, and this night would go off without a hitch. Unbeknownst to me, Zack and Christina were plotting a fantastic date, and that night he told me he he wanted me to be his. From there, our love continued to grow, and it flourished with supportive family and friends by our side. On April 13th, 2024, Zack asked me to be his fiancé. There was no doubt that every moment together was leading towards this journey. It's funny to look back and reminisce how I believed I would never find a love like his. With myself being freshly graduated from Kent State, and with Zack still furthering his education at the University of Akron, I never thought I would be in the place to find a love to last a lifetime. We cannot wait to celebrate with you all at our wedding, and we look forward to our friends and family being a part of our story and the beginning of our marriage. With Love,Sarah Crabtree (soon to be Heller)
