On a cold fall evening during the pandemic, in November 2020, Zach was walking around downtown Madison when he came across an entire city block on fire. He saw a woman crying for help out of a second story window. He knew this woman was special so he decided he needed to save her.

He climbed a tree and leaped into the burning building. He searched through the smoke-filled burning building and finally found her tucked away in the corner of a bedroom.

He reached out his hand and said "Hi, I'm Zach."

She responded "Hi, I'm Carly."

He smiled and said "Want to get out of here?"

She responded "Yes - please save me!"

He swept her off her feet and carried her to safety. Once they were out of the building he put her down and said "I'm not a firefighter, I just play one on TV."

She responded "I want to marry you".

The rest is history.
