Our Wedding

How we met

We first crossed paths on Bumble, where Addie noticed Zach's good looks and great beard. Once we matched, Addie made the first move, playfully pointing out that since we were both in sales, we could "sell ourselves to each other." That broke the ice, and our conversation picked up. When it came to the first date, Zach suggested Qdoba, a place we both liked, to which Addie asked "is that the price point we're going for?" So we settled on a nice local restaurant Lazlo's, followed by ice cream, and from that first evening the spark was clear. The connection was immediate, and we were pretty much inseparable from then on.

Sam and Zach met in college, at the climbing gym, before casually starting a night vision company together. They continue to go on multiple backpacking trips each year, with the goal of one day Climbing Denali.

Ethan is Zach's old Schwan's man. Him delivering ice-cream and frozen chicken nuggets meant so much to young Zach that he kept him around all this time.
