Thanks to two mutual friends, we ended up at a slow-pitch league game together. A little small talk turned into all of us going to a slow-pitch tournament the next day… and then a Cardinals game the day after that.……and Main Street after that…

A week later, we went on our first official date at Cooper’s Hawk—and the rest was history. Many more hangouts quickly followed.

When summer ended, college called. Noah headed back to Mizzou, and Zoe returned to SEMO. Distance didn’t stop us—we made long distance work, visiting each other on the weekends and cheering each other on from afar.

Noah graduated from Mizzou 🎓 and continued to be Zoe’s biggest supporter—especially at her softball games.

Zoe played her last collegiate softball game, and of course, Noah was right there in the stands.

Zoe graduated from SEMO 🎓—another chapter completed together.

Between graduations, there were weddings, concerts, vacations, and countless memories that made our love grow even stronger.

Then came a trip to Florida… where Noah got down on one knee and asked Zoe to spend forever together 💍🌴
