Met on Hinge...Stayed for Gibby

Gibby Picked Him First-We're Making It Official Now!

We had our very first date at Bravo on a Wednesday evening in January. Emily had such a great time that she asked Zach if they could see each other again that weekend. What luck! Zach happened to be "travelling to Wisconsin" to visit his sister that weekend. Emily was sure that she would never see this man again. Zach actually did happen to be traveling to Wisconsin that weekend, but he was sure to see her as soon as he made it home. After a few dates, he was even allowed to take the big step of meeting her Gibber (her dog Gizmo) and her dog Bailey. Gizmo was just as smitten with his new friend as Emily was (Unfortunately, Bailey views every other living being as her emplyee-Zach and Emily included). It didn't take long for Gibby to start seeing Zach as "Dad". We began spending any time we could together and were quickly inseparable. In the past three years, we have attended many concerts and Pirates games together, gotten each other into new hobbies including golf for Emily and reading for Zach, parented two very special dogs, and gotten engaged in Iceland! We cannot wait to celebrate with you! Emily og Zach eru að gifta sig!
