Zach and Alison met in August of 2011 when they were, by chance, placed in the same freshman orientation group at Penn State Hazleton. Both wanted to become nurses, and used Penn State Hazleton as an opportunity to complete pre-requisites before heading to nursing school. The two went from being classmates to friends, friends to boyfriend and girlfriend, and then at midnight of January 1st, 2021, they became each other's fiancé. They successfully navigated nursing school together along the way, and have supported each other throughout their nursing careers. Many of the colleagues, mentors, and friends they've made along the way will be with them to celebrate their special day!
