Just eight days after closing on their home, Zach proposed to Nicole in their kitchen on a Tuesday evening. Zach, being the romantic that he is, wanted to plan an evening out to dinner that weekend, but after picking up the ring that afternoon couldn't wait the extra few days. When hearing that Zach came home with a surprise for her in the kitchen, Nicole obviously assumed that it was food, but seeing the bottle of champagne on the counter she had other suspicions.
Long before Zach found his passion for the Post Office, he was working at Blue Hills Ski Area full time during the winter and making blizzards at DQ in the summer. We all know Nicole can't turn down free ice cream, and they already had their love of skiing and the winter in common, so a friendship naturally ensued. After ski trips, golf trips and many restaurant road-trip adventures, their friendship seamlessly developed into more over the years. A few trips to Las Vegas and Mohegan Sun, and Zach decided to take a different kind of gamble and things became more serious between him and Nicole.
