Our story began at a back corner table in Rustica Cafe on an unusually nice February day in 2022. After a long, effortless hour and a half of conversation, we decided to take advantage of the weather and walk to Lake of the Isles. From that day on, we were inseparable.

We spent the spring, summer, and fall supporting one another through respective races, spending time up at Allie's parents' house in Deerwood, and visiting Zach's family in Nebraska. Winter brought us two vacations in Arizona, many Gopher hockey games at Mariucci Arena, and finally to a jewelry store on our one year anniversary to buy the ring that symbolizes our journey through life together. We're incredibly excited to have our friends and family join us at the beautiful arboretum, and can't wait to celebrate our love with everyone!
