We're getting married!

Zach and Jilli met working together in the elephant department at the Columbus Zoo and Aquarium. They instantly clicked with their similar nerdy interests, love for animals and senses of humor. When Zach got a position at the Maryland Zoo in Baltimore, they realized that their connection was more than as just friends and decided to start their relationship off long distance! After living and working separately for 6 months, they pulled off a miracle by getting jobs at the same time at the BioPark Zoo in Albuquerque! They made the leap, moved across the country together, and the rest is history!
