It was a warm, rainy night in the Summer of 2014.  Philadelphia was bustling with concert goers, closing out their last weekend of summer at The Made In America music festival.  With the rain pouring, a free ticket opened up and made its way into the hands of one unsuspecting woman who did not have a ticket for the night of musical festivities. Little did she know how this ticket, which came from less than desirable weather conditions, would change her life forever.

That was the first night that sparks flew between an overly-domestic nursing student from Virginia and a finance frat gentleman from Ohio.  A night that ignited a love that would last for a lifetime.

Fast forward 5 years, the happy couple now lives in Columbus, Ohio. You can find them playing with their pride and joy, their dog Phoebe, or ripping apart their hardwood floors as their next DIY house project.   Zach officially popped the question on the evening of May 10th, 2019 while on a walk along a private beach in Punta Gorda. Florida.  (Phoebe was obviously there to witness her parent’s happy moment!)
