It all started a decade ago at a Hannaford grocery store, a place where fate decided to bring Zach and Nicole together. Their eyes met across the counters, and in that fleeting moment, something sparked. But life had other plans. Zach joined the Marine Corps, and Nicole moved away, each pursuing their own paths. The connection faded, like a story left unfinished. Years passed, but love has a way of lingering, quietly waiting for the right moment to bloom again. And then, one day, they reconnected. The years apart didn’t matter—when they saw each other again, the spark was still there, as if time had never passed. They are different now, yet somehow the same. Nicole has a passion for antiques, a love for the old and the worn, while Zach is more of a practical man, to him, an antique store is filled with "junk," but he humors her, indulging in her treasure hunts. And Nicole, in turn, discovered a fascination with Zach's world of guns and shooting—an interest she never thought she’d explore, but now finds herself sharing in his excitement. Together, they are building a life—one full of love, laughter, and the quiet chaos of plants. Their home is their sanctuary, filled with warmth and an ever-growing collection of greenery. Zach jokes that one day, Nicole will transform their house into a jungle, and he’ll walk in and immediately lose himself in the green. But he isn’t worried. As long as they are together, no amount of greenery or antique trinkets could overwhelm him. This is their home—a place where love flourishes, where memories are made, and where their hearts have found their way back to each other after all those years apart. The love story that began in a grocery store has now become a life they are both proud to share—one day at a time, with a few plants, a lot of laughter, and plenty of adventures ahead.
