The year was 2018. A colder year than most. It was winter in South Dakota. The year prior, Zach and Mollee had never met; Only knew of each other from afar. That would soon change. At the time Zach was finishing his first year in the workforce. Mollee was finishing her remaining schooling to earn her Masters from USD. Zach, intrigued by this Mollee Karst gal, brainstormed how he could get in front of her. After covering all options he went with the old, reliable of asking a mutual friend to set them up together. “What’s that Mollee… uh… Mollee Kra… uh what’s that girls name?” “Mollee Karst?” “Yeah that’s it! What’s her story?” The move proved successful. They began dating that spring and the rest is history.

In the fall of 2020 Zach asked Mollee to marry him in front of their soon to be home in Sioux Falls, SD. Zach, being a master in the element of surprise, planned the proposal for a random Wednesday evening after work. Once again, the strategy proved successful. From the beginning, their relationship has been an endless flow of making each other and the days better. As they have much in common, they also compliment one another where the other lacks. They look forward to a life of receiving the most out of each other and spending the remainder of their lives together.
