It all started in September 2023, when we connected on social media. We had already known of each other through mutual friends, but Zach was the one who made the first move. We spent the next few weeks messaging each other periodically when at one point Lauren spotted Zach at a Marshall football game and thought, “Why not?” We had our first date at LongHorn Steakhouse on November 7, 2023, and the rest was history. From that night on, everything just felt easy and natural. We officially started dating on December 5, 2023, and since then, our story has only continued to grow and turn into something we’re so grateful for every single day. Now we are counting down the days until we say I do, and we are so excited to celebrate this next chapter with all of you. <3
