Taylor and Zach met the good old fashioned way...on a dating app. Hinge to be exact. Their first date was at Lynnwood Brewing Concern to watch a Hurricanes playoff hockey game against the New York Rangers. The Hurricanes lost, terribly, but the date was a success. Realizing they were both going to be out of town for the next two weeks at different times, they went out again the next day.

Over the summer of 2022, Zach and Taylor spent a lot of time trying new restaurants and spending time with friends on Zach's boat. Finally in September, on a date to play mini golf (which is where Zach learned just how competitive Taylor is when she whooped his butt at putt putt) he asked her to be his girlfriend and the rest is history.

Zach got to meet Taylor's family pretty quickly when she had to have emergency surgery in November which led to her staying with her parents for a week. And not just her immediate family, but her entire mother's side of the family since it was Thanksgiving. Luckily, he survived and nobody scared him away. Taylor met his family the next month at family Christmas in Thomasville.

Zach and Taylor have enjoyed traveling together, hanging with their pups Stanley and Colt, spending time at the Lake, going to music festivals, going to as many Hurricanes games as possible, and getting to know each other's friends and family over the last two years and are excited for what is to come in the future! This is just the beginning, and they are so excited to have you all there to celebrate their marriage this November.
