Zach and Laura met at Blue Blaze Brewing in August 2022 when Laura's beagle, Charles, approached him for attention. They fell in love thanks to his homemade pizza recipe, Martinsville Speedway hot dogs, horror movies, and an affectionate cat. Zach proposed at their original meeting place in March 2024 a week before the brewery closed. Zach and Laura enjoy having home cooked meals, afternoon walks with Charles, and spending time with family and friends. They are excited to marry in Zach's hometown.
