The morning after Anna's 19th birthday was spent at the library in a study room with one of her good friends. Little did she know that Zach would be invited to that same study room. They didn't say a word to each other for the first two hours, but once they figured out that they were both from Montana, their talking was non-stop and the rest is history...

The day had finally come for Zach to propose to Anna. Unfortunately, this day was also in the heat of receiving the remaining storms of Hurricane Michael within the state of Virginia, so the original plan of a picnic proposal was thrown out the window. Instead, the couple went up to Boars Head Resort in Charlottesville where Anna was expecting dinner at a nice restaurant for an anniversary. On the flip side, Zach was secretly scrambling with his sister, Natalie, in pinning down the location where he would propose at the resort. Due to the weather, the location had moved around at least 4 to 5 times over the course of Zach and Anna's hour drive to Charlottesville! Upon their arrival to the resort, Zach was still unsure as to where his sister had set up the place for him to propose. As time went on trying to find the "restaurant", Anna became impatient and worried that they would miss their reservation. After a little more wandering, Zach took Anna out to a covered porch. Anna pointed across the street to a darkened building, "I think the restaurant might be over there?" she said with her back towards Zach. "No, this is where we need to be." Zach said. Anna became even more frustrated, with her back still to Zach, "No, I don't think this is where we need to be." Once again, Zach insisted, "Yes, this is exactly where we need to be." Upon those words, Anna turned around to see Zach, who was surrounded by rose petals, candle-lit-lanterns, and down on one knee.
