Our Wedding

In 2018, Zach and Juan were supposed to meet for just a quick drink. One drink quickly turned into dinner... and then into a real date. From that very first night, they both knew there was something special there.-After that evening, they took every chance they could to see one another. With Juan living in Minnesota and Zach in Wisconsin, they made long distance work for several months before finally moving in together in La Crosse, WI. Soon after, they began a new chapter together in the Twin Cities.-In 2022, they took another big step by purchasing their first home in south Minneapolis. Then in 2023, the boys hit the road for Yellowstone. While exploring the breathtaking Grand Prismatic Spring, Zach popped the big question.-They are so excited to celebrate their love and spend their special day with each and every one of you!
