Welcome to our wedding!

Zack and Andrea met while attending James Madison University. Zack was in his second year of graduate school. Andrea was in her senior year of undergrad. They met at a beach-themed party in Zack's apartment, which included a living room and kitchen full of sand. Aun's first impression of Zack was that he was cute. Zack's first impression of Aun was that he was impressed she could drink more than he could. Zack didn't ask for Andrea's number, but instead decided to message her on Facebook. Eventually, Aun took the lead and gave him her number. Not knowing what would happen after graduation, they spent their last few weeks at JMU getting to know each other. Turns out this was just the beginning of their story. Zack and Aun made their relationship official in July of 2013. They continued a long-distance relationship for four years, making the drive between Virginia and New Jersey. After years of dating, Andrea moved to Virginia Beach. She quickly befriended Zack's childhood friends and became a part of his family, and so began their life together. Their love story is filled with memorable trips in the US and abroad, beach days, and special occasions spent with their chosen family; it has also been forged through great sacrifice and their commitment to taking on life's challenges together. Aun & Zack have proven that their love is built to last. Zack proposed to Andrea on July 7, 2020, bringing some much needed joy and excitement to this year. Zack surprised Andrea by decorating their apartment with balloons that read, "Will you marry me?" and champagne. After 7 years of waiting, it was an easy YES! The big day is set for October 16, 2021! Zack and Andrea cannot wait to continue their love story in the company of their closest friends & family!
