Jenn and Zack met on spring break their sophomore year of college. Zacks good looks (and the bagged wine he was toting) caught Jenn's eye and they hit it off right away. Jenn figured the connection wouldn't go anywhere (I mean.. spring break...) but Zack invited Jenn to a neighborhood Mexican restaurant with a cute patio once they both were back at ASU. They ended up with two desserts (one sent courtesy of Zack's best friend who also "happened" to be at the restaurant with his mom) and that was that! They stuck close together through college and graduated in 2015. For both to realize their dream careers, they had to face 2.5 years of long distance, first with Zack heading to Wisconsin to endure a 6 month sales training program and then Jenn moving to North Carolina for PA school just several weeks before Zack was to return. Long distance was a challenge, but with love and a LOT of FaceTime they were each others biggest support. Jenn moved back to Phoenix to live with Zack in June 2018 and patiently awaited the proposal which FINALLY came March 29, 2019. We're getting married April 4, 2020 and can't wait to continue our adventure.

The Friday night before a big trip to the beach, Zack said that he wanted to catch the sunset and have a date. With their tropical island vacation approaching, Jenn didn't think anything of it as she quickly changed out of scrubs after getting off work almost an hour later than usual. Zack decided on Papago Park, a scenic rock outcropping on the edge of Phoenix. He kept his cool until he pulled into the Phoenix Zoo rather than the hike with sunset quickly approaching. They arrived just in time and took the short walk as the sun began to set. At the top of the red rocks, they turned a corner where their close friends were waiting. It was then that Zack dropped down on one knee. Jenn pretty much blacked out for the rest of it, but quickly said yes. They celebrated with champagne and photos followed by a lovely dinner.
