It was Spring Break, 2017. Devon was looking forward to a break from school and some sunshine. Zach really needed a change of scenery and a good time. In Daytona Beach, Florida, the romance capitol of the US, they found each other on a beach. They were introduced through a mutual friend, but the chemistry they shared wasn't immediately apparent. Over the next couple of days they started hanging out more, getting to know one another. By the last night at Daytona Beach they were inseparable. After Spring Break, they couldn't stop texting. This soon turned into Facetiming late into the night. Devon started skipping a few classes to spend more hours with him. Zach drove home between pizza deliveries to spend a few more minutes with her. It was like the strongest magnet in the world was pulling them together. They stopped thinking it was a coincidence that they met and started believing in fate. Now they're here, seven years later, excited to embark on this next journey together.
Zach's proposal to Devon unfolded as a perfect surprise on Coronado Beach in San Diego, where the couple shared a beach bonfire. They had the whole beach to themselves. While Devon had no inkling about the impending proposal, she became suspicious when Zach discreetly set up his phone to record the moment. After she joyfully said "yes!" the elated couple couldn't contain their excitement, running around screaming and laughing. As if nature itself joined in the celebration, a sprinkle of rain started after the proposal. Opting for an impromptu change of plans, they headed home to make their s'mores in the microwave, turning a simple gesture into a cherished memory that will forever be a part of their love story.
