Shelby and Zach met via mutual friends back in 2014 and had an instant attraction to one another. Although thing did not pan out for them back then, they reconnected years later after Shelby's father passed away. Zach was a very good friend to lean on during this hard time and their friendship quickly turned into a romantic relationship. After almost 2 years of dating, Shelby and Zach bought their first house together. They jumped right into a remodel and truly poured blood, sweat, and tears into creating a beautiful home. Shelby already had a dog of her own, Tucker, and after most of the main remodel was done, they decided to add another dog, Ellie. If things were not already crazy enough taking on all of these new tasks, Shelby decided to train for an Ironman. This is no easy task and takes a lot of hard work and dedication. Zach was nothing but supportive and definitely picked up the slack to allow Shelby to accomplish her goal. On April 22, 2023, Shelby completed the Ironman. After taking some photos and celebrating, Zach got down on one knee and asked Shelby to marry him! She was so overcome with joy that words could not even come out but she was definitely shaking her head yes!
