Zach and I met at Virginia Tech when I happened to come to a snow pants or no pants party thrown by his fraternity. We ended up being beer pong partners and we hit it off while Zach made all of the cups for our team. As I was leaving, Zach invited me to hang out the next day, and I haven't stopped bothering him since.
Zach had scoped out the local botanical gardens and had the whole proposal planed. When we arrived to the Charlotte Botanical Gardens, it was Mother's Day weekend and the only weekend that was sold out. He quickly pivoted and we went to a nearby nature preserve where Zach popped the question on a little beach in front of the lake. While it wasn't quite what he imagined, it was still perfect.
