It was Spring 2016. Allison had just moved from Massachusetts to North Carolina where she would start her career in Nursing. For a short time Allison waited tables at Lynnwood Grill, a sports bar in Raleigh, where Zack had frequented. Little did they know- their mutual friends thought that they would make a good match and introduced each other. It was history from there! Zack showed Allison the beauty of North Carolina. A place where they continue to make memories together and both call HOME.
Allison and Zack were in Hilton Head, SC for one last beach trip of the season. A place that was special to Allison because she and her family had stayed there a year prior to watch her brother become a Marine in Paris Island, SC. Zack took Allison out on the beach at sunset and got down on one knee. He asked Allison to take his hand in marriage and she said "YES!" The proposal was magical and Zack secretly filmed the entire thing with a selfie stick that was nestled in a sandcastle turtle that they had made earlier in the day :) The video will be shared at the rehearsal dinner with you all!
