We first met when I was back in high school and touring St. Bens with Sabrina Hille (bff since preschool). We were staying over with Sabrina's older sister, Emily. After a day full of tours, we went over to Saint Johns to hang out with Emily's friends and experience college life. Zach was friends with Emily so we ended up hanging out all night. Zach and I had a connection from the beginning but at this point I was 100% planning to go to St. Thomas and still in high school. Plans and life changed throughout my senior year and I was heading to St. Bens in the fall of 2018. My first night on campus I got a call from Bryan Jungles (Zach's bff since kindergarten) giving me Zach's phone number and the rest was history. We continued to hang out and became official that next summer. We have dated for over six years, bought a house, brought home an adorable golden doodle, Arthur, and finally got engaged!!

Zach and I returned home from going out to lunch. Zach took my hand and led me down our sidewalk covered in rose pedals to our backyard where "Marry Me" was displayed in bright lights accompanied by candles, music, and champagne. I obviously said yes and then all of our family, friends, and Arthur came out of our home cheering for us and ready to celebrate.
