It all began in 2019, when she visited Corban University to explore the possibility of playing beach volleyball. Her host, a mutual friend of Zack’s, introduced them that evening, and from the moment they met, there was an undeniable spark. They spent the night laughing, talking easily, and enjoying each other's company, and as the conversation flowed, she couldn’t help but think to herself, Wow, this guy is cute. It turned out that Zack was thinking the same thing. Later that night, he confided in his friend, "I really hope she comes here—she’s really cute." By the time her freshman year rolled around, they were officially a couple. From the start, their connection was effortless, as if they had known each other for years. They shared endless laughter, unforgettable moments, and before long, it was clear—what started as a friendship had blossomed into something deeper. They were completely in love. But just as they were settling into this new chapter, life threw a curveball. The pandemic hit, and suddenly they found themselves navigating a long-distance relationship—her in Arizona, Zack in Las Vegas. Though the distance was challenging, every reunion felt like time stood still. Whether it was weekend visits or late-night calls, their bond only deepened, proving that love, even separated by miles, could grow stronger with time & lots of Minecraft. As the years passed, their journey together was filled with adventures, laughter, and countless memories that only strengthened their connection. Then, on a warm July evening in 2024, during a trip to Maui, Zack proposed. As the sun set over the horizon and the gentle waves lapped the shore, he got down on one knee on a quiet, breathtaking beach. It was the perfect moment—just the two of them, surrounded by the serene beauty of Hawaii. She said "FINALLY," without hesitation. Now, as they look ahead to the future, their hearts are full of excitement and love. Their journey has been one of laughter, growth, and unwavering connection, and they can't wait to take the next step together, surrounded by the people they love most.
