On an unexpectedly warm Sunday in February, Cady drove down to Zilker Park to play some grass volleyball with people she'd never met before. Unbeknownst to her, setters were drafting that weekend - meaning she had to pick the players who would be on her team for the day. The organizer, Jason, wanted to help so he pointed out two guys (one was Zach) and mentioned they would both be solid options. Cady chose the guy in the pink sunglasses and pink shorts, thinking "he looks more approachable"... this was not Zach. The next Sunday, Cady was again put on a team with that guy in the pink shorts, Ben. After playing Ben introduced her to his good buddy, Zach (the guy she didn't choose the first week a.k.a the cute guy they kept losing to). Later that week, Cady asked Zach if he wanted to be her partner for a coed league on Tues nights and he said the first defining "yes" of their budding relationship. After weeks of seeing each other every Tuesday, bonding both on and off the court, Zach and Cady became good enough friends that 1 league, turned into 2 leagues, and weekend tournaments, boat or birthday parties, and so on. They became each others best friend and best teammate in Austin. After months and months of finding every excuse to spend time together, Zach and Cady finally expressed to each other they wanted to be more than just friends. Fast forward to now, they've traveled across the world, played volleyball tournaments in different states, bought a house, adopted a puppy and added some wedding debt to their love story.
