After many months of living on the West Coast, Zachary moved to Statesboro, Ga (Hayley’s hometown) for work. Little did he know that a few weeks later he would meet someone special. Zachary and Hayley had their first date at Vino, a wine bar, where they instantly hit it off. Hayley introduced Zachary to her favorite wine, and Zachary introduced Hayley to his sense of humor.


From there, their relationship continued to grow. Many days were spent going for walks, getting dinner or drinks, and watching the Bachelor. Zachary and Hayley took many trips together, traveling all across the USA. So many special memories were made.


Together, they overcame obstacles. Between a major surgery, Zachary moving for work, and having to do long distance, the going was not always easy. Even in the hard times, Zachary and Hayley showed their perseverance and dedication to each other.


Then, on May 11th, 2024, Zachary took Hayley back to Vino. With beautiful flowers surrounding them, Zachary dropped to one knee and asked Hayley to marry him. Hayley could not say yes fast enough.


Since then, Zachary and Hayley have moved to Goose Creek, South Carolina where they have begun to build a life together as their love has continued to grow.
