How We Met

8.17.18

In the spring of 2018, I came home from my junior year of college to my hometown of Confluence, PA. I had worked the same summer job waitressing at the Lucky Dog Cafe with my best friends for years, strategically avoiding Zach at all costs, because he made me REALLY nervous (in a good way). Zach was originally a kayak instructor and worked for Riversport next door to the cafe. He worked away for another company by this point, so his visits were few and far between. My boss had seen us flirt a time or two, but never anything serious and decided we should go out. My boss and friend Erica proceeded to tell me that Zach really liked me, and told Zach that I really liked him. A friend request and some picture liking later... we started to talk more and more. It was a summer night when I was likely sweaty, sticky, and covered in mango margarita (from dumping it on myself at work) that Zach asked me to go out with him and the rest is history. Our first unofficial date was to the bar that night with friends, but in the coming weeks we started going out just the two of us. We will be married on our sixth "dating" anniversary.
