The oldest story in the book... It was love at first "DM". ;) Zac messaged Tess on Facebook. From then, on, they began getting to know each other.

Tess and Zac FINALLY had their first date, after months of Zac's persistence. ;) The couple went on a walk at Ben Butterworth Parkway. Four miles went by and felt like the blink of an eye. By the end of the date, Zac told Tess that he knew she was going to be his wife.

Tess & Zac's first picture together! Zac met Tess's whole family at their slow pitch softball game. Tess's youngest sister secretly snapped this picture, like any other little sister would do (lol), just hours after meeting Zac for the first time.

The day Tess met Zac's family and celebrated his dad's birthday.

Zac's 26th birthday. :) Tess's crazy family drove to Le Claire to take some pictures of the pair before dinner.

Zac "officially" asked Tess to be his girlfriend in a very sweet & thoughtful way because Tess is dramatic. ;)

Many weekend adventures for Tess and Zac throughout their dating stage. One of their favorite weekend getaways was a weekend in Milwaukee during the holiday season, where they ice skated through Christmas lights. Totally felt like a Hallmark movie!

Zac proposed to Tess at Ben Butterworth Parkway, where they had their first date.
