It all started in the Spring of 2021, when Alex and Zach matched with each other on a dating app. After some initial back and forth, it was clear this was something different. Hours long FaceTime calls began and then finally, a first date. Fast forward a few months and a trip to Paris was already booked and "I love you" came frantically out of Zach's mouth one morning while drinking coffee. Friend introductions, trips, concerts, and whole lot of Alex cooking meals, things started to fall into place. Once Alex moved into Zach's spotless apartment in May 2022, they both knew this was it. With a friend's wedding coming up in Ireland, Alex tacked on a pitstop in Paris on the front end to pop the question, with Zach being the only person on Earth not aware of what was happening. On a freezing, overcast Saturday afternoon, Alex dragged Zach to the base of the Eiffel Tower, knelt in mud, and asked Zach to marry him. Both are still unclear what was said in the those few moments, with a whirlwind of emotion pouring over, but Zach managed to get an "of course" out somewhere in there. And so here we are, getting ready to celebrate the love story of Alex & Zach and we could not be more excited to have you all join us for our special day!
