Zach and I met in our high school band. He played the baritone sax and I played the tenor so we were seated next to each other. Little did he know then that I had my sights set on him and worked to get to know him over the next year until we started dating!
In May of 2021, Zach and I went on a trip to the Adirondacks and stayed in Long Lake. Near there, we went on a hike up Coney Mountain. We were the only ones on the trail going up and only saw one couple going down. While admiring the view that we got to ourselves, Zach pulled the ring from his backpack and waited for me to turn to him. When I turned around, he asked me to marry him and I of course said yes!
