We’re excited to celebrate with you!

If you are thinking of giving us gifts to help us on our MARRIED way, a gift of cash towards our honeymoon would really make our day! We have been together for a few years and have a lovely home. There are not many items that we don't already own.

We met one Friday evening in September when I had mistakenly went to the wrong bar to meet my friends for drinks. Lucky for me there happened to be a cute bartender. I happened to sit next to a nice lady and we started having a conversation. Zachary came over to get my drink order and started with “So, you already met my mom..” it is still to this day one of our favorite stories, his moms as well. We spent that evening talking about our interests in hiking, traveling, and the love we both have for the great outdoors. After that evening everything just clicked. We had a connection from the moment we first met. I’m forever grateful for walking in to the wrong bar on the right night.

The first time I had met Zach I knew he was going to be in my life. I never really believed in love at first sight or anything like that, but from the first night I met Zach he just felt like home to me. It didn’t take long for me to know that I wanted to marry him someday. We were on a family trip to Alaska in June of 2021, we were hiking Independence Mine on Hatcher Pass, which is such a beautiful place. It was mid June so there was still some snow on the high peaks. We had reached a point on our hike where we were completely surrounded by mountains on all sides and in ankle deep snow, which if you know Zach and I we love winter and we love snow, so we were in our element! We were surrounded by my family and Zach asked if him and I could go and get a picture with the mountains behind us, I of course couldn’t say no to that, so we walked over and were admiring the view facing away from my family and looking out to the mountains. I had my head on his chest and I remember asking if he was feeling okay because I could hear his heart beating very fast. Little did I know what was about to happen. Before I knew it I went to turn around to face my family for the photograph, and as I went to turn Zach grabbed onto my hands and got down on to one knee. Zach asked me to marry him in the most amazing place surrounded by the people I love the most, my entire family was in on his plan. My brother was even able to FaceTime my mom who watched the entire proposal as well. I still can’t get over what an absolute perfect moment it was. I’ve never felt so much love and happiness in my heart.
