They met in high school as all high school sweethearts do. Every day they met and got to know each other at the Golden Valley Theater while waiting for Dawn's play rehearsals to end. They eventually went to winter formal together and from there began dating. Through the rest of high school, college, and the experiences that come with early adulthood they were there to love and support each other; each being the yin to the other's yang whenever they needed it. In September of 2017, Zach proposed to Dawn in front of the Skogafass waterfall in Iceland while on a trip to Europe, just short of their 10 year anniversary. They are very excited to enter into this new chapter of their lives and are happy to share it with their closest friends and family that have been there for them along the way.
