We met at Bridgewater-Raritan Regional High school in 2013, Zack was a junior and Abby was a sophomore. A mutual friend set us up and we decided to meet one day after texting for about a week. After hanging out multiple times and getting to know each other, Zack asked Abby out on July 16, 2013. Since then, we've done long distance throughout college (& studying abroad) although always managed ways to grow stronger together.
Zack asked Abby out for dinner for steak night at Fiddlers Elbow Country Club. This was a usual date night spot as the food is amazing. As the date typically goes, we both got ready and Zack picked up Abby for dinner. As we walked inside, they said our table was not quite ready yet, although there was a complimentary photographer (this was not uncommon for the club as they will occasionally have portrait photographers). Zack hired staff to pose as couples, as Abby did not suspect a thing. We took some photos and as Abby whispered to Zack, "OK, lets go eat now", Zack got down on a knee. Abby was SO shocked, couldn't stop crying, and could only keep nodding 'Yes!'. As Abby turned around, both of our families came out and we all got to celebrate together!
