We Still Do!

When and where we first met is still somewhat of a mystery. In 2003, Lauren moved to Noblesville where she started her 5th grade year. Little did we know at the time, but Zach also attended the same school. It wasn't until the Fall of 2009, during our sophomore year of high school and after attending the same schools for SIX years, that we officially remember meeting at a mutual friend's house. From this point on, we continued to grow closer. On February 5, 2011 we finally sealed the deal and began dating. In August 2011, Lauren left for Indiana University in Bloomington. Little did we realize at the time, the next four years would be tough! Living 1 ½ hours apart and not seeing each other everyday was a hard adjustment. We cherished and took advantage of the time we spent together on weekends. From IU tailgates and parties, to hunting and hiking, we made amazing memories with amazing people during these four years! The following few years included some big life changes and events for the both of us! We moved in together to a condo in Fishers, Lauren began graduate school at IUPUI, we brought home our first child (our dog Copper) and Zach began his apprenticeship program with Gaylor Electric, Inc. Fast forwarding to October 2018... To kick off fall, Zach planned a camping trip to southern Indiana. We stayed at Paynetown SRA on Lake Monroe, went hiking at Brown County State Park and visited some of our favorite spots in Bloomington. On October 13, 2018 at 7:30am (YES A.M.), we woke up to drink our coffee and watch the sunrise on the beach. It was then Zach proposed and Lauren of course said, YES! (& it's about damn time!).

On June 13, 2020, we exchanged our vows in an intimate small ceremony with just our immediate family. We have since moved into our first home together in downtown Noblesville, adopted our second child (a beagle named Penny) and have been busy planning for our vow renewal celebration with all of you! We look forward to seeing you all in June!
