On November 10th, 2017 Jackie was on campus at the University of Illinois in Urbana-Champaign, and Zac was at work at Giovanni's Restaurant & Convention Center. In the late afternoon, Zac took off early from work and drove almost 3 hours south to meet who he never thought would be his future wife. After the long drive, Jackie sat for the first time in Zac's car and took a ride in the Mazda 3 to Chicago's Lincoln Park area. Zac's first choice of restaurant was Chicago Pizza and Oven Grinder Company, however the wait time was extremely long. With no choice but to look for other spots, Zac and Jackie had their first bite of pizza together at Gino's East in Lincoln Park. Thereafter, they went to Main Event in Hoffman Estates and went bowling for the first time. They played arcade games for the first time. After a long night, Zac drove Jackie back home. That was the first date of Jackie and Zac.
