We met through mutual friends in the summer of 2020. In autumn we slowly transitioned to hanging out one-on-one, watching tons of sports and cooking meals together since COVID restrictions were still in place. In late 2021 we moved to Alexandria with our dog Thor and continued building our lives together. Our favorite memories include many beach trips, Zach's 30th birthday trip to Puerto Rico with close friends Stephen and Melissa, Christmas Eve shopping at Tysons Mall, attending many Nats, Commanders, Capitals, and Edison lacrosse games, and hiking with Thor. Zach proposed on July 12, 2023 in the Outer Banks, NC on a beach trip that he organized with our closest friends. We hope you will join us as we say "I do" and kick off the next phase of our lives together. We're so excited to share this day with those who have shaped us into the people we are today!
