Our Wedding

Hi Everyone! We are so excited to share our most special day with you all, so we figured we should give you all the back story on how it all began. It’s no secret that Zach and I love music and concerts. So naturally, that is what we bonded over. Thanks to Good Ole Facebook for somehow making us “friends”, we lived 45 minutes apart. We shared zero mutual friends. Yet somehow, Zach came across my page sharing that he was on his way to his THIRD !! Dierks Bentley concert of the same tour! Dierks Bentley is my favorite male country artist! I thought, this guy is either a groupie OR …. my soulmate. So, I took my chance and I “loved” the status. Later that night, I decided it’s time to cleanse from all social media for my mental health. And I deleted my Facebook. Well - little did I know, I could still receive Facebook messages… I woke up to a message from the Dierks Bentley guy! “Hey, I saw you “loved” my status about Dierks… and then… your profile was gone…” I’ve never reactivated a social media faster in my life LOL. We chatted through text for about a month. I was in Aruba. He was in Key West. Another common interest! We both loved the beach, the water, and fishing! When we were both finally back home in Michigan, we decided it’s time to plan our first date! Can you guess what our first date was? SURPRISE!! It was a concert! We got some dinner and went to see Drake White at a local bar, Coyote Joes, on April 19 2019. I left the date that night, texted my best friend, Jacklyn, “I’m going to marry this guy” The rest, is history.
