We both grew up in Van Alstyne, Texas. Our families were friends and our paths crossed time and time again over the years. We share similar roots and many of our memories over the years involve the same folks! Zeb is best friends with Rachel's cousin-in-law. Our first date was Cinco de Mayo, I (Rachel) sang a Janis Joplin song on karaoke, and the rest is history. We got engaged at my sweet grandparent's home on Easter Sunday after church and lunch with them.
