Zack and Lauren met the way all the best love stories begin – at a tailgate for the South Carolina Gamecocks. After bumping into each other a few times through their mutual circles of friends, they finally had a proper encounter one night at the legendary bar, Jake's, in Columbia, SC. Lauren was laughing at something Zack said and remarked how glad she was that they had become friends. With a mischievous grin, Zack replied, "Would a friend do this?" and leaned in to kiss her. And the rest, as they say, is history.
