We met at MNU back in 2016 but got to know each other at our favorite place, Kanza (shocking right?) We had always been friends + each other's favorite dance partners, but then in early 2019, Zach decided to make that dangerous step trying to get out of the friend-zone and told me about his feelings. I denied them for a couple months, not wanting to ruin our friendship. In May, I finally caught on that he was the perfect guy for me. We were pretty flirty at a mutual friends' wedding in June, and finally told our families in late June that we had been secretly dating (even though everyone knew). The rest is history :)
Zach started off the day by putting a letter in my car that gave me instructions on places to go that day. He took me to my parents house where my amazing parents were there waiting with a letter for me, I then met his sweet parents at MNU. He then sent me to Kanza where I met my sister, and the final destination was the arboretum. Zach was standing there by the pond, I met him, he popped the question (although I have no idea what he said ;)) and I said YES!! He then had all of our close friends + family meet at my parents' house for a celebration party afterwards with a celebration at Kanza to end the night. Truly the BEST day of my life!!! (also a day we can only celebrate every 4 years ;))
