In late spring semester of Freshman year at TCU, Brooke was invited to attend the Sigma Nu formal in Austin. Brooke and Zach met in the freshman dorm parking lot, carpooled to Austin, and became friends over the weekend. Fast forward until the following February, Brooke finally agreed to go out with Zach, and then canceled last minute...not knowing it was his birthday! They went on a Pizookie date a week later on February 27th, and the rest is history.
