We are overjoyed to celebrate our love with all of you

Zack and I met up for the first time in January of 2019. It was our junior year of college at Miami University and we binge watched the Ted Bundy series on Netflix and got burgers at an on campus diner. A week went by, we hung out again, and then we were basically inseparable! We started dating a month later, yay!

If you're wondering whether the proposal was a surprise or not, it most certainly was! I was thinking it would probably happen in a few months but I didn't see it coming the day that Zack proposed. We were at my dads house in Ohio visiting for the weekend and we decided that we wanted to meet up with one of our friends from college who is still a grad student at Miami! We were walking towards what I thought was lunch and instead Zack started fast walking me towards the Upham Arch. I guess my mind was on what I was going to order for lunch because I still didn't see it coming even though anyone affiliated with Miami knows the tradition of the Upham Arch. If you kiss at midnight under the Upham Arch, literally an arch on campus, the tradition is that you will one day get married! So Zack proposed to me under the arch, I screamed, "NO WAY" and here we are!

That is right, COVID 19. We hope you and your family are safe and well. We appreciate all the love and support we have received during this uncertain time. Our current plan is to continue with our wedding on September 22, 2021 as planned. We feel that our date allows for cases to decrease enough for us to gather safely and for further distribution of the vaccine. Until then, we will continue to monitor state and federal health and safety regulations. At this time, we are not requiring guests to wear masks, maintain social distance or get the COVID vaccine, however please do so at your discretion. If you do wish to receive the vaccine, please follow the link below to locate a distribution center near you.
