In the fall of 2023, a simple "like" on a Facebook picture turned into something extraordinary. Veronica liked Zach's photo, and Zach—never one to let fate pass him by—sent a message that would unknowingly change both of their lives forever. Their first date was on November 4th at Main Event in Lexington, Kentucky. Bowling in a private room, sharing laughs, and finishing the night with a cozy dinner at Carrabba’s Italian Grill—it was the kind of evening you secretly hope will lead to something real. Veronica was instantly drawn to Zach’s respectful and kind demeanor (not to mention how handsome he was), while Zach was taken by Veronica’s beauty, elegance, and grace. Though they lived two hours apart—Veronica in Prestonsburg and Zach in Mt. Sterling—distance didn’t stand a chance. Love has a way of closing gaps. On November 25th, amid the racks and retail of Dillard’s, Zach asked Veronica to be his girlfriend. It was an unexpected setting for a romantic moment, but somehow, it was perfectly them. Fast forward a few months, and their hearts (and GPS coordinates) aligned. They moved in together on March 7th, 2024—trading long drives for grocery runs and late-night pasta dinners (their mutual weakness). Then came January 25th, 2025—a date neither of them will ever forget. Zach, in his military dress blues, and Veronica, in a cream dress, were headed to the military ball. But first, they stopped by the museum for photos—or so Veronica thought. Surrounded by friends and captured by a hidden photographer, Zach got down on one knee and asked Veronica to be his forever. She said yes!! Now, they’re getting ready to say "I do"—the next chapter in a love story that started with a Facebook like, a bowling alley, and two people who just knew.
