We first met on Hinge, the dating app, shortly after Zach had moved to Pewaukee, Wisconsin. Zach made the first move and our first date was at BelAir Cantina. Luckily, the tasty margaritas (and subpar food) led to great conversation and eventually a 2nd, 3rd, 4th, and many more dates to come. We quickly became apart of each other's friend's groups, and with encouragement from her friends and a little liquid courage, Alex made the next move and we began dating in February of 2023. Since then, we've made countless of memories going to Cubs games, concerts, and many bar and brewery crawls with our family and friends. We then got engaged in July of 2025 at the Milwaukee Riverwalk near the Bronze Fonz, where Zach almost had Alex completely fooled (minus a hint or two the week before when Alex tried over-planning the 4th of July weekend). We've been overjoyed by the love and support from all of you so far, and can't wait to keep the celebration going all the way until October and beyond as we start our married life together.
