Our Wedding

There they were, sitting on opposite ends of their 2019 chemistry class. Liz chose to sit in the back of the class, while Zach opted for (or was stuck with) the front. From the back, Liz and her freshmen friends could spy out the space for any “cute boys”. While her friends discussed multiple prospects, Liz was set on Zach and Zach alone. Instead of randomly introducing herself, their professor would initiate the first move. On the day they were partnered together for lab, Zach broke a test tube filled with fake urine and spilled the content all over himself. Zach was embarrassed, but he didnt need to be. Liz found it hilarious, and her feelings for him only grew. Once lab partners changed, Liz hoped Zach would talk to her again. Little did she know, she’d be the one making the next move. Months later, the two reconnected over social media. Over the course of three long weeks, Liz built the courage to say hello. She closed her eyes as she sent the text, but just like Zach’s prior embarrassment, her nerves were unneeded, Zach was quick to respond with a time and place the two could hang out: his dorm room! They spent hours talking, watching movies, trying new foods, and spending quality time together. At the end of spring break, Zach asked Liz to be his girlfriend, and they made it official. Sadly, their time together in person was ended by COVID. Liz went home to North Carolina, and Zach stayed in Wisconsin. With hundreds of miles between them, the two realized how inseparable they truly were. Their love grew as they talked every day, and they couldn’t wait to see each other. Once restrictions were lifted, Liz flew out to see Zach. The two shared a first public date at the Port Washington Marina. Three years later, at that same location, Zach would ask Liz to spend the rest of her life with him.
