We met on a dating app called Coffee Meets Bagel. From the very beginning, there was a sense of ease and authenticity to our online conversations, along with many LOLs. After a couple weeks of texting about Friends, Saved by the Bell, and March Madness, we met up for a drink on a Sunday afternoon in Manayunk. The 'chemistry' between us was undeniable, and after leaving we both knew something special had happened. We dated throughout the Spring, binged on country music concerts and soft serve ice cream cones during the Summer, and moved in together by Fall.

The "plan" (made by Lauren, keeper of the social calendar) was to meet our friends for dinner in beautiful St. Michaels, Maryland. But when our friends were "delayed" (enter Zack - master of surprises), we decided to take a walk. After strolling past dozens of sailboats along the sunny marina, Zack pulled Lauren aside and told her how amazing the last 474 days had been and that he wanted to keep her for ALL THE DAYS. He got down on one knee and asked her to marry him, to which she responded with an inaudible YES by clasping both hands over her mouth and aggressively nodding her head. The rest of the evening was spent celebrating with champagne, fireball, and onion rings.
