We're getting married!

Their story began with a simple connection over social media that quickly turned into something that neither of them expected. What started as messages soon became hours long phone calls that somehow felt like only minutes. From the very beginning, everything felt easy, natural, and real- their love for each other has always been genuine and full of intention. One of their most special moments came on a rooftop date where Zach asked Sydney to be his girlfriend. It's a place that will forever hold a piece of their hearts and remains one of their favorite spots to return to for meaningful moments together.

Zach planned the perfect fall date day for their proposal, starting with a scenic train ride in Blue Ridge surrounded by crisp air and beautiful views. Before boarding the train, they grabbed breakfast at their favorite coffee spot downtown. Before the ride, Zach asked Sydney to go on a walk through a nearby park, where he had thoughtfully planned out the perfect spot. In that quiet, meaningful moment, he got down on one knee and asked her to marry him- turning an already magical day into one they'll never forget. After the Proposal, they spent the day riding the train, exploring downtown Blue Ridge, and soaking in every moment together. Zach had even planned an entire weekend of surprises, including an engagement party with their families, making the celebration even more special and full of love. It was truly a weekend filled with joy, thoughtfulness, and the start of forever. <3
